Back from Boskone

[rolanni]

We're back!

Despite a rocky start, Boskone was grand, though it would have been something much other than grand if a lot of people hadn't pitched in to bail us out when things went pear-shaped. Heroes of the revolution include: Victor Stevko, Lara (whose last name I never get right because it is long and exotic and I am a writer of little brain), Seanan McGuire, Kate (another last name gone), and her friend whose name I never got at all, Bob Devney, Barbara Karpel, the Kushner brothers, Sally Kobee, Judith Klein-Dial, Lis Carey, Ben Yallow, Myles O'Reilly, and Max Poddubny. Without them, there would have been a very sparse party indeed, and no Lee and Miller books at the convention.

I especially enjoyed the chance to catch up with pbray and jenniferdunne, and was deeply gratified by the audience reaction to my reading from Carousel Tides. The 20th Anniversary Party was nicely attended, as was the retrospective panel. A Good Con, yes indeed.

I had a fabulous time, and remain utterly delighted by the entire experience. Thank you for a wonderful party! (And it's 'Secor', on Kate.)

I and Jody both had a wonderful time and it was a pleasure to meet you both in person. I hope the photos came out. If not send me a note and I will send you a CD with them.

I'm trying to decide whether to buy Agent of Change, Carpe Diem, and Conflict of Honors individually. I have Partners in Necessity, but it's not the most convenient format for carrying around, and I reread your books a LOT. The question is, is there any prospect of Meisha Merlin settling down soon and possible reprints of those three books? If so, I'd prefer to wait for authors to get some of the proceeds. So do you have any idea about a reprint of the Liaden books? Thank you.

Um. No. Meisha Merlin is out of business.

That said, Meisha Merlin did not print the mass markets of the Liaden books, Ace did. As far as I know, Ace still has some time on their reprint contract, so, yanno, anything is possible.

...and that's my idea. Real information regarding reprints -- no, I'm sorry, I don't have that.

Just a suggestion - the Baen ebooks over at http://www.webscription.net/s-118-steve-miller.aspx still seem to have the bundles and the individual books. With a PDA, this makes a very portable version. I know many people prefer paper, but . . . you might want to give it a try?
