Have you read the Greenwing and Dart series?  Alas, she's only written them up to Winterturn so far.

The Able Archers by Brian Morra. Fictionalized account by a CIA agent who was a principal in the Cold War events that followed the Soviet shooting down of Korean Airlines flight 007 in 1983. The event and its aftermath brought the world close to nuclear war, something far less well known than, for example, the Cuban Missile Crisis. The author chose to tell the story in fictionalized form to gain greater freedom to discuss issues some of which remain classified. It reads like a thriller. I cannot report that the book is a gem of literary brilliance, but if you are interested in the Cold War and nuclear brinksmanship, this may be worth the time.

Finished Eversion last night. Really enjoyed it, it starts out like an early 20th century adventure story, then begins to slowly go off course.  About halfway through the big reveal starts. There were earlier hints, and things unfold slowly. The whole thing wraps up in an interesting way, satisfying despite at least two major loose ends.  Often, revealing less is better. 
 

Just finished The Redoubtable Pali Avramapul and as I expected was very depressed it was over. I so love Goddard. Many millions of thanks to Pence for the introduction.

I read that Victoria Goddard has just given up her day job (as a cheesemonger!) in order to write full time, so perhaps we will be reading more from her soon.

great to hear!
