Drive-by word count

[rolanni]

Got a few words on George today; slow going while I try to coax a character to tell me who he is.

This would be easier if he knew, himself.

Progress on The Book Presently Known as George:
4,092 words/100,000 OR 4.09% complete

Damn, can't edit comments after posting. I meant "Conflict of Honors through I Dare" and cliffhanger in I Dare. Late-night brain fart. Sorry.

I'm guessing you have read Fledgling and Saltation? That's the story of Theo, that ends right at the same cliffhanger as I Dare (although from a different point of view). Next is Ghost Ship, which is in the hands of Baen, and I think will be coming out middle of next year.

Um... have you read the short stories? Over here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liaden there's a pretty good description of them.

Incidentally, Carousel Tides is out right now. While it isn't quite the same, it is good reading.

I second the suggestion that you investigate the short stories, if you haven't already. They're available (or most of them are) electronically from Baen and I think most are still available in hard copy from SRM Publisher. Several deal with ValCon & Miri, together or separately. Some are from their early days, prior to Agent of Change, and at least one or two are set on Surebleak. They fill in around the books quite nicely.
