Fledgling Sample Chapters OnLine

Baen has posted the first nine chapters of Fledgling, starting here. Many thanks to Brom O'Berin, whose great-great-&c-grandson plays such an important role in Mouse and Dragon, for this information.

The first draft of Fledgling will be coming down today, as I have time to do it, around finishing up the above-referenced Mouse and Dragon.

For those who do not visit Baen's Bar, it was announced some days ago that the Fledgling E-Arc, which will become available from Webscriptions realsoonnow, will be bundled with The Tomorrow Log and Dragon Tide.

And, now: more coffee.

Getcher Red Hot E-Arc, with Extra Bonus Stories!

Truly, Mr. Bailey is a Wonder and a Marvel.

Fledgling, The Tomorrow Log, and Dragon Tide here for one, low, low price of $18US.

Fledgling E-Arc Available from Webscriptions, Plus!

The Fledgling electronic ARC (Advance Reading Copy) is now available from Baen Webscriptions  (http://www.webscription.net//). Bundled with the E-arc are The Tomorrow Log and Dragon Tide. Because Dragon Tide is a shorter form than Webscriptions is accustomed to dealing with, it in turn has been bundled with TTL creating the "book" entitled The Tomorrow Log and Dragon Tide.

You can for a short time only get all three of these fine works -- two complete novels and a chapbook! -- for $18US. That link again is: http://www.webscription.net. Go on, click it, you know you want to.

Oh, you don't know you want to? Maybe you'd like sample chapters, hmmm? A little taste before you decide? Well, how about the first nine chapters of Fledgling, free for the reading, starting here.

Yeah, I thought you'd like that.

Please note that the first draft of Fledgling has been removed from the web, as per the authors' agreement with Baen Books.

Happy reading!

Pace yourself, they say

Um, yeah.

So, apparently I sprained my brain with all that writing down of stuff yesterday, and today's writing was Hard and Took Forever. I am therefore officially not expecting to put the draft to bed by the end of tomorrow, but -- soon. Very soon.

Kind of a mixed grill day. Last night, I went to bed late and fried, and as a result slept badly for three hours, not at all for two, gave it up as a bad job and arose to find Exciting! Fledgling! News! in my inbox, which meant that I got a late start on breakfast, which, in retrospect would have been better if I'd just stir-fried the sausage, the left-over rice and some of the broccoli and skipped the whole egg experience. Somehow, the eggs made what I'd envisioned as a tasty meal into a boring meal. Funny how that happens sometimes.

Anyhow, after breakfast, such as it was, I retired to the couch and with the help of my mighty coon cat assistants immediately fell asleep. Woke sometime later, reviewed my notes and crawled through the next chapter, which is done, and me, too, so I'm going to go pour a glass of wine and watch -- what is the name of this thing, anyway? -- Enchanted. I think I'm currently at the recommended levels of intellectual rigor for viewing this movie.

Hope everyone is having a restful and stress-free holiday weekend.

"Stipulate," Daav said, before his brother could speak again, "that we are idiots of the first water, polished and ready to be set."

There was a moment of silence before Er Thom sighed and opened his eyes.

"Stipulated," he said.
