All New Liaden Universe Novel

[rolanni]

Dear Friends of Liad.

Steve and I are pleased to announce that we will be serializing Liaden Universe(R) novel Fledgling on the web starting January 22, 2007. This novel is so new that it hasn't even been written yet.

For those who have read I Dare, this will be the story of Theo Waitley, who had a "kind of complicated" problem to lay before the delm of Korval.

More information about the project can be found here

Thanks for listening.

Sharon and Steve

Woohoo! I'm in favour of the "patronage of the arts" model, it seems to work well where I've seen it (and gives those of us who are less creative in that way a way of participating, if I can't write a novel I can at least help sponsor someone who can -- and you get all of the money not just the royalties).

One question which wasn't in your can's and can'ts -- am I allowed to print out chapters for my own reading? If you say not (as some authors do) then I won't do it, but I do prefer to have bits of dead tree which I can read in bed rather than electrons which I can't (I'm a geek, but not enough of one that I have a screen by my bed!).

Oh, good question -- and one we hadn't thought of.

Let me talk to Steve and we'll get an answer here and on the info page. Might be a leetle slow -- I've got a 52 hour week on the phones coming up, starting tomorrow, and all things bow before sleep :-)

...and I've spoken to Steve (handy, him being in the next office). He says, "What you do in the privacy of your own bedroom is cool by us."

Seriously, printing it off for your own ease of reading is perfectly fine.

Oh good! I read on the screen or on my palm if I must, but much prefer the paper form so that I can sit with it in comfort.

Thanks! Especially for the fast response. I'll look forward to reading the new book...
