rolanni. . .consider the above fair warning, and Do Not Try Me(tm). Thank you.
As reported earlier in the week, B&N and Amazon are now shipping Saltation; both are accepting customer reviews, if you’re of a reviewing bent.
I’m now looking for reports of Saltation spotted in the wild, as well as any other Lee and Miller books that might be nearby. As you’re out and about town, keep your eyes peeled, please!
No, we have not yet received our Big Shipment of Saltation subscriber copies. We’ll tell you when.?
My plans for the day include cleaning out my closet and making up a box of stuff to go to Goodwill, brainstorming, and perhaps goofing off with my spiffy! new! layout program.
What’re you doing that’s fun?

Date: 2010-04-10 04:36 pm (UTC)Well, it's not fun...
Date: 2010-04-10 04:53 pm (UTC)More fun will be moving a few boxes around, unpacking a few more, and rolling the new computer cart into the office. I am praying that the computer cords will stretch to where I want to put the desk. Otherwise, unpacking a bookshelf and moving same will have to happen.
I'll make a burdock root, arame, carrot and onion stir fry in there somewhere, too.

Date: 2010-04-10 07:57 pm (UTC)I haven't spotted Saltation in the wild, but when I went to place an order at the local independent bookstore here in Davis, CA, I found out that while they hadn't ordered a copy for the store, they'd just had someone else come in and preorder it. This is in contrast to Fledgling where I was the only preorder - hopefully they'll get the hint and start ordering copies of your work at some point.
Also, very well done on Saltation - my wife and I both are eagerly awaiting Ghost Ship whenever it comes out. (We've already read the ebooks of Saltation, but paper copies are so much easier to lend out).

Date: 2010-04-11 12:08 am (UTC)Am currently planning out a wedding cake for 2 friends who are tying the not in June. Looking like it'll feature Tudor roses and ivy made of sugarpaste (by me).
Shortly, I'll be starting to read "Changes" by Jim Butcher, which arrived in the mail today.

Re: Ghost Ship?
Date: 2010-04-11 02:28 am (UTC)Well...That could have something to do with the fact that we're still writing it -- or not writing it, because it has a stuckness at the moment. The manuscript is due at Baen in August, so the soonest I'm guessing it would be published would be late-ish 2011.

Saltation Sighting

spotted Fledgling
Date: 2010-04-12 09:32 pm (UTC)I read the final version of Fledgling just last month when it came in to the library, after following the draft version week-by-week. I enjoyed the draft version, but was disappointed that the new story seemed to lack the complexity and richness I expected from a Lee and Miller book. I was pleasantly surprised with the final version! The book was so much more satisfying, with back-story added and loose plot ends tied together. I guess I didn't realize how much revision was going to add to the final book. Thank you, Sharon and Steve, for the hours of pleasure your books have given me in the ten years since I picked up a creased copy of Conflict of Honors tucked on the shelf of a used book store.
Saltation sighting and purchase
