rolanniSRM Publisher is proud to announce the title of the 2007 Yule Chapbook. That would be Dragon Tide. The chapbook will contain two original short stories, "Daughter of Dragons," contiguous with the Agent of Change sequence. The other story, which is still awaiting a title, is set within the Crystal timeline.
Pre-orders are now open! Simply go to the Dragon Tide pre-order page. While you're there, you might want to check out the other SRM offerings. It's never too early to buy Yule presents.
For those who have iron control and have not be over to the Fledgling site since Chapter 31 was posted, on October 8 -- the authors have declared a draft. Yes, we do know that there are things that need to be fixed, threads left dangling, and subplots that are unresolved. We'll deal with it. However, second drafts are not for the squeamish, so we will be performing the necessary surgery and repair in private. The current projection is for a trade paperback of the finished novel to be mailed to qualifying subscribers next autumn.
In the meantime -- yes, we do plan to finish the story out. Watch for an announcement of a new serialized novel continuing the Life and Times of Theo Waitley, early next year.
Other writing news...Sometime this week, the mailman brought us three copies of the Russian edition of Balance of Trade, which was pleasant. The accompanying note explaining how we weren't going to be getting our on-pub money wasn't so pleasant, but -- hey! Russian edition = 'way cool.
I note that Fictionwise now has available nine out of a possible ten Sharon Lee titles. Download, read, enjoy! Heck, vote, if the mood is on you.
The rest of the weekend involves finishing up the last pass through Duainfey, after which it will be zapped over to the good folks at Baen, leaving me free! to begin writing Longeye.
Speaking of Baen: candles, prayers, and good thoughts, please, for Hank Reinhardt, Toni Weisskopf's husband, who is in the hospital and doing very poorly.
