Eye Candy

The UPS Guy came to the door just as kinzel and I were sitting down to lunch, and delivered unto us the cover flats for the Ace edition of Crystal Soldier. It's an interesting cover, though the authors are somewhat bemused to learn from the enclosed sales points that Soldier is the sequel to Balance of Trade.

I guess I'm a little dense. I hadn't noticed the sequel-ness...

Maybe it's the yellowness of the cover art.

I think what happened is that marketing got a tad confused. The contract is for three books. It just so happens that of those three books only the last two are in series.

Balance of Trade, she notes blandly, was originally thought to be a standalone.

And what is it thought to be now? The seed of another great oak bridge into the future (mixing metaphors madly)? Any crystal-balling about when we might see child of Bot (or is it RoBoT -- Recurrance of Balance of Trade?)

Well, see, we have a contract to write a sequel to Balance of Trade. If all goes well, it should be out in spring 2008.

Now if I can just learn to wait faster :-)

Thanks! I think I had seen something about a sequel, although I suspect even when I have the sequel in hand I may want more. Greedy little reader that I am.
