In the land of milk and honey

[rolanni]

The contracts for the Baen Liaden Universe® omnibi have been signed and are on the way back to Madame the Agent. We're still awaiting final approval of titles, but!

We do know that the first omnibus edition, including Local Custom, Scout's Progress and Conflict of Honors will be coming to a bookstore near you in June 2010, the Very Same Month that Mouse and Dragon hits the shelves. Timing-wise, this could hardly be better, and thus we are Happy Campers here at the Cat Farm.

The omnibi will, so we're told, be published "one a season" until all four are in play. Which is also very cool.

*eyes the publication schedule for the near future*

It's looking like seven? -- can that be right? -- seven Lee-and-Miller and Lee titles coming out between now and the end of 2010? Better yet, they're all written!

More books to sign after work, then Steve has a library trustees meeting and I...may go home and read.

I haz a Fledgling!

To update you on where they are, this was from Forbidden Planet bookshop in London (England) who have them in stock (unlike Amazon UK who are still saying "we'll notify you when it comes out"). To Be Read when I have finished rereading Diane Duane's Rihannsu subseries so probably before or at the weekend (I force myself to only read one book at a time these days, otherwise I tend to do "ooh, shiny!" and keep picking up new books and never finishing them)...

I assume that the seven books are Fledgling, Saltation, Mouse and Dragon (is that the official title now?) and the Omnibi, or have I missed something else?

Yay, Forbidden Planet!

I'm going to take this to the top of another thread. It's very possible that I've missed something myself, so we'll throw it open to the Group Mind.
