File Drawer Auction Ends

The auction for the paper related to the Lee and Miller story "Candlelight" has ended. The winning bid was $128.82.

Congratulations to the lucky winner!

This ends the Clean Out Sharon's File Drawer Auction Series 2009.

Thanks to everyone who participated, and to the winning bidders.

Special thanks to Andy Funk, whose harebrained idea this was. *bows in Andy's direction* I stand corrected, sir.

Thanks -- and answers

Thanks, everyone, for the congratulations on contracting Ghost Ship (note the lack of "The" in the title). We're pretty excited here at the Cat Farm.

Moving on the theory that one big pile is better than two little piles, herewith answers to the questions in comments.

1. Nope, sorry, Ghost Ship will not (that's not) be serialized on the web.

2. Our deadline for turning in the manuscript is August 1, 2010. This means that the book will likely come out sometime in mid-or-late 2011.

3. It's not like you won't have anything from us to read in the meantime*. There's the Yule chapbook, currently under construction, slated for November publication. Saltation comes out in April 2010; Mouse and Dragon in June 2010, Carousel Tides in September 2010. And, lest we forget: All Those Reprints, starting in June 2010.

4. It's 'way early days to be talking snippets on Baen's Bar. Or anywhere else.

5. The current writing project is "Hidden Resources," which is "my" story for the upcoming Yule chapbook, said chapbook entitled Halfling Moon.

6. I honestly don't know when we have time any year soon to write a sequel to Balance of Trade. If we win a lottery big enough to be able to afford health insurance on our own, we may rethink. In the meanwhile, nobody hold their breath.

...I think that covers it. Anybody have a question that isn't covered above?
