Liaden Universe® novella "Misfits" (aka The Story of the Weatherman and What Became of Him) has been turned in to Jim Baen's Universe and accepted by Eric "Lightnin'" Flint for publication in the December issue.

Edited to add: Thanks to an alert reader on Baen's Bar, I learn that the first half of "Misfits" is available here. There is no charge to read this; you do not need to register. You do, however, have to wait until December to get the rest of the story. Fair warning.


Somewhat closer to hand, and if all goes well, the Liaden Universe® Big Bang will be coming to Baen Webscriptions on July 15. This collection will include the contents of every SRM Adventures in the Liaden Universe® chapbook, from Two Tales of Korval straight through Allies.

As reported elsewhere kinzel will regrettably -- and regretfully -- not be attending NASFiC. Though we've cleared some of the stuff off of an abruptly crowded deck, we're still in something of a deadline crush. Next year, in Denver!

And, having deposited SRM orders at the post office, driven to Augusta to leave work with the printer, and returned home via the grocery store -- it's time for me to get to work.

Aha!

This goes to show that I should read all the LJ entries before posting. I think I just asked Kinzel for hints about the JBU story, and here it is! The weatherman? That would be . . . oh, my, there's a whole lot of shaking going on. Thanks for the hints. Now to wait patiently over here, reading the weekly installments of Fledgling, and pondering the whichness of the whys.

And a big bang of chapbooks. Very sweet!

Whoopeeeee!

So far, I've addicted three others with my buy-to-lend-out copies of the books. Now the novella is for-sure-and-certain accepted, I can do some celebrating!

next year in Denver

Yes! Yes! Yes! I can't wait to see you and all of the Lounge Lizards. Let me know if you need a tour guide.

Wow! What terrific news!

I'll look forward to reading "Misfits." I've always wondered about the weatherman. And I can't tell you how delighted I am that I'll be able to get my hands on e-copies of your stories again. They were the one thing I regretted losing when I gave up my Windows system.

I'll look forward to meeting you in Denver next year.

Weatherman?

Am I forgetting a character somewhere? Have we met the weatherman before?

Have we met the weatherman before?

Yes.

And no.

Wasn't that the backstory for one of the songs Mira sang at the Winter Festival? Or am I getting confused?

Re: Weatherman?

[kinzel.livejournal.com]

No, it wasn't. The weatherman deals with something Miri experienced herself. That other, that's another story that sits, waiting to pounce upon us at some unspecified moment, I'm afraid. We've got notes toward that ... the Ballad of the RosaRing.

That nom nom nom sound you just heard from California was the sound of me devouring "Misfits" in large joyous gulps.

WIN.

Thank you for the link! Looking forward to the rest. :)

Right. Now that I've read the first half of the story I know what you're talking about. This is the mission that gives Miri her brief addiction to Cloud, as well as the promotion to sergeant, isn't it?
