Another country heard from...
Tuesday, November 25th, 2008 07:04 pmThanks for the good wishes on Re-release Day. If you're still on the fence about this whole Liaden Universe® thing and not sure you want to commit to one of those Unending Series, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ysbetwordsmith has a review of the first three books (Agent of Change, Conflict of Honors, and Carpe Diem) here, which may help you make up your mind.
In other news, I have finished going through the page proofs for the Duainfey mass market. Remarkably few marked-up pages will go into a FedEx Letter Pak this evening and start their journey to North Carolina tomorrow, projected arrival date: Black Friday. Ahead of deadline. Wow.
I note without comment that I counted 30 pages of "sex scenes" in this 455 page book.
Among other things, the finishing of the page proofs means that I'll get those four writing days this weekend. Yes!
In day-job news, the students, and apparently most of my faculty, have fled for the holiday. I need to go in tomorrow to turn on the lights and make sure the furnace is set so the pipes don't freeze. The English secretary and I discussed the viability of playing ping-pong in the hallway. Maybe I'll be able to finish reading the book that I've been carrying around with me for three weeks. I remember having time to read for pleasure...
The wind, it is blowing something Terrible and Fierce and has been all day. It's also been raining. Had it been a few degrees cooler and we'd've had a blizzard on our hands. As it is, we're under a flood watch until 4 p.m. tomorrow, and it is now ten degrees warmer than it was when I left work this afternoon.
Well, it's interesting weather...
