rolanniDear 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

Must be something fascinating about baby birds.

Date: 2006-12-01 08:58 pm (UTC)I'm very much looking forward to reading along (and hopefully getting a trade paperback eventually).
no subject
Date: 2006-12-01 08:59 pm (UTC)Thank you. Wah. So pleased. I hope you do eventually release the book in printed form. I'd buy it.
This reminds me of the way Cory Doctorow publishes his work: first in serial form on the web, then in printed form--and people buy the hard copy in droves.

Date: 2006-12-01 10:56 pm (UTC)Oh dear, I probably shouldn't have done that at work...
no subject
Date: 2006-12-01 11:58 pm (UTC)I rejoice.
no subject
Date: 2006-12-02 12:20 am (UTC)What does serializing in SL mean? I suppose they could set out the bowl more easily there. And the head tilted to one side, winking, waiting for the coin to drop would be a whole lot easier to do :-)

Thanks!

no subject
Date: 2006-12-02 12:46 am (UTC)I'm looking for a solution other than note cards. We may end up simply giving away "books" with URL-links to the Fledgling location...
First, we got to start on the web-stuff for most people before we get to the more limited audience of SL stuff.

Date: 2006-12-02 01:11 am (UTC)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!).
no subject
Date: 2006-12-02 01:16 am (UTC)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 :-)
no subject
Date: 2006-12-02 01:23 am (UTC)Seriously, printing it off for your own ease of reading is perfectly fine.
no subject
Date: 2006-12-02 01:28 am (UTC)Cool on you...
now if we can get people to take the news to Baen's Bar and other places where folks have admitted they read us... LMB list? And I'll have to work over some press releases to ship out to Locus and stuff I guess...
Thanks for helping us think!

Date: 2006-12-02 05:01 am (UTC)One more thing... Would it be inappropriate for me to mention this on other sites?
Hurrah!
Date: 2006-12-02 06:02 am (UTC)I'm looking forward to reading this!

Date: 2006-12-02 12:48 pm (UTC)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.

Date: 2006-12-02 07:31 pm (UTC)Yay!!!
I'd give you money *right now* if I could. In the meantime, consider the word spread at least on this end of the world.
New Liaden Book

Will the burning question of her parentage be answered? Is she biologically Daav's daughter by his mistress, by someone else, or is she adopted or the daughter of the mistress? Us heredity freaks yearn to know!

Oh you teases.
Date: 2006-12-02 10:29 pm (UTC)*whimper*
That's gonna be slow compared to reading seven novels in three days...
Seriously, though, you've made my month! I'm telling everyone I got hooked on the Liaden books.
Yaaay :)
