...which I will believe when there's four to six inches of Cold White blanketing my driveway, and not before.

As previously advertised, I spent today with the to-do list and the laundry, with a couple hours set aside with Steve to brainstorm Ghost Ship, which was fun. And also productive, yanno, later. As it so often is with these things.

However! I did not bring you all together this evening to crank about the weather or to share our mutual horror in the discovery that tomorrow is indeed Monday, but to share with you News of Moment.

Carousel Tides is available for pre-order from Amazon.com*.

Gentle Beings, we have Book.

Or, rather, we will have Book, in about nine months.

Mind you, we don't yet have cover, but that's just Greedy Author being Greedy.

You'd think, with five books (three of them brand new) coming out this year, I'd be a little less excited about this. Guess I'm just easy.

Certainly, I'm hungry, and bored to death with looking at this silly list. Installing the new firewall can wait 'til tomorrow; the old one still works fine, and I can't do anything about the new prescription drug rules from the new insurance company until tomorrow, anyway.

We do need to think about art, and tea services, and filk, but maybe we can do that over dinner.

G'night. Everybody stay warm/cool/neutral.

Not listed on Amazon UK yet, but they'll get round to it sometime I expect. They've got 9 months, after all...

(What are you doing with filk? Writing it, listening to it? There is a insufficiency of Liaden filk (I think I've heard one song), and I'm not a songwriter...)

What are you doing with filk?

One of the conventions we're going to as GoHs this year has asked if there's any Liaden filk. There are three that we know of: "Agent of Change," by Lee Goldberg, "Weapons Hall" (I think) by [livejournal.com profile] filkerdave and "Seven Silver Bracelets," by Peter Cady. I really should put a Call in the blog, in case there are more that we haven't heard.

I'll stick a message on the UK filk mailing list, I'm certain I've heard something here (but it may have been Dave's "Weapons Hall', he's been over here enough times that I tend to think of him as a UK filker, or it may have been someone here singing his song).

(BTW, Lee Gold (no 'berg'): http://kinzel.livejournal.com/tag/filk -- I haven't heard that one yet but I just 'sang' it through mentally, I know the source tune well. I haven't heard Peter Cady's at all.)

Have fun...

Also preordered. Do you know if Carousel Tides and Mouse and Dragon will be available as e-Arcs from BAEN as well?
I must say despite the horrible economy, this is a very good year for new soon-to-be-favorite books! Jeanine

The book is ordered, and I've written a note to myself, reminding me I did it. 'Cause you know, I'd forget and order it again, which wouldn't be a bad thing, exactly, but still.

I've not heard any Liaden filk. I'll be sure to request it at Baycon this year.

My husband gleefully announced to me last night that there were books available for pre-order on Amazon and he pre-ordered all 3 of them - hurray!

I said I was gonna ask you if that's the way that nets you the most, or if there's another ordering process we should go through.... Cuz how we wanna make sure YOU get the money!

E-arcs
