In Which There are Surprises

[rolanni]

The first surprise is that the German editions of the first three Liaden Universe® books are up for preorder at Amazon.de. Reserve your copy now of Der Agent und die Söldnerin, Eine Frage der Ehre, and Gestrandet auf Vandar. Nice art. Interesting spaceships. I note that Shan does not appear as a sabertooth tiger with a fondness for high-tech explosive devices. This is a Good Thing.

The second surprise is that I now have a MySpace page. I know, I know, a bunch of y'all have been insisting for Some Time that I get my act over to MySpace, but, yanno, Life, and also a chapter a week without fail for manymany weeks. We have the fact that my brain went boom! in the middle of the chapter scheduled to be written this weekend to thank for my getting on the stick with this.

Another book surprise -- the Ace edition of Crystal Soldier is out!

And for the final (Ghod willing) surprise on the weekend: Kit Jimenez accidentally "took" her house back into inventory, whereupon she needed to quicksnatcheverythingelseback! too, to prevent them from raining down upon the blameless landscape. Sigh.

On the bright side, I have an AWESOME dress to wear to the Talis Portal on Info Island next Sunday, March 11, at noon, Second Life time. kinzel and I (it says here) will be discussing the whys behind our first, second, and third forays into electronic media, and how demand has changed since we started publishing BPLAN Virtuals Disk-Top ebooks in the late 1980s. Be there or be somewhere else.

Edited To Add: While my muse is off sunning herself in some pleasant clime, ogling the cabana boys and sipping rum through a straw, I updated the Coming Attractions page.

Sabertooth... tiger...?

Hmm. I was just following the link from your MySpace page to the Liaden page at korval.com and was informed that the requested URL (http://korval.com/liad.html) could not be found. Do you need "www" in front of your domain name there?

Man, yesterday was the Day of No Brain. Thanks for the catch.

Yeah, the Polish cover for Conflict used recycled art, and the art showed a black woman, a sentient sabertooth tiger rigged out in ammo belts and clutching a rifle-ish thingy, among other things. We figured the woman was obviously Priscilla, which left the sabertooth tiger for Shan.

Perhaps the tiger was a resident of the pet zoo? One might expect the pet librarian to issue arms to the residents when the inspectors were there?

Or perhaps it was one of the inspectors? Or an ambassador?

Trees, and tigers, and turtles - oh, my!
