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!!! Say, dDid you get the idea from Diane Duane's own experiment earlier this year? I know, I know, Stephen King had done something like this long ago.

One more thing... Would it be inappropriate for me to mention this on other sites?

Ummm ... well, no, we didn't know Diane Duane was doing this -- as we mention on the Fledgling page we were more thinking about the Storyteller's Bowl, LWE, and about Sharon Lee's own experiment in online storytelling back in the year 2000... ten years after we were part of the very first (and more experimental than we knew) eBook wave.

By the way, Mr. King, I think, was hoping for far more than he got... didn't I read that "The Plant" only took in on the order of $200,000 in the first several months? That would probably serialize our next 3 books and help us move to Old Orchard Beach to boot...

And so yes, please do share. Since Rolanni is doing LL Bean for the Christmas Season I'll be doing this one-handed from this side, including putting together some press releases and webwork on this and the upcoming Liaden Universe Companion Volume 2 (due out around August 10, 2007 with a potential break-out at NASFIC)... so reasonable mentions will help since I can't be everywhere.

Thanks. There's this F/SF site where I post frequently and where there will be no objections to my mentionning your project. I'll do that on Monday, when there are more people around.

Just doing my bit to help you move to Old Orchard Beach...
