rolanni | In which Lee and Miller appear on lists

For those who voted in the Goodreads Choice Awards (and a huge thank you! for those who voted for Saltation) — the results are in! Let’s give the deserving winner a big round of applause!

Also! Carousel Tides by Sharon Lee, published by Baen Books, and Halfling Moon (Adventures in the Liaden Universe® #16), by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller, published by SRM Publisher, Ltd., hit Uncle Hugo’s Bestseller List for December

Not only that! Four Lee and Miller titles placed in Uncle Hugo’s top 50 bestsellers of 2010: Fledgling, Saltation, Mouse and Dragon, and Halfling Moon.

Man, that’s a lotta lists. That’s a lotta chapbooks. Motor on, Number 16; you are a wonder and a marvel.

In other news, the day-job was a zoo, and tomorrow looking like more of the same, but with the addition of a first-thing-in-the-morning visit with the dentist.

Eep.

Progress on The Book Presently Known as George:

“Excellent. You have nothing to fear from your delm,” came the soft voice. “When you speak to the delm, you speak to Korval Entire — which is nothing more frightening than speaking with your kin. Or yourself.”

"You have nothing to fear from your delm"... uh huh. As long as you do not stand beneath the delm's displeasure, just ask Pilot tel'Izak. Grin. Can't wait to read the background to the above scene. Thank you again (and to Kinzel) for including gleanings from your daily writings.

Nice people at Uncle Hugo's.

I'd better be short because the journal pages have been running very slowly and also giving me funny words to get in that I can't read lately.

Readers at Uncle Hugos good. Readers at Goodreads not so much. I don't care for books about plagues unless they are on Pern.

Sorry about the tooth. No good news on white nose disease for bats yet. Very bad news from New Hampshire. About 50% survival rate that's all. Very sad.

Thanks for all the snippets.

White nose disease was imported somehow from Europe, so I gather. And just as when Europeans began arriving on this continent in droves after 1492, so to did the native humans suffer from diseases the Europeans had developed immunities to, over many centuries. Many bird species recently got hit with a similar situation and some haven't recovered yet: I haven't heard a Mockingbird around her in several years, rock doves are still absent, nighthawks aren't dive-bombing me in the early evenings. The ring-neck doves, cardinals and obnoxious Blue Jays seem to be recovering, but I haven't seen hundreds of thousands of migrating Canada Geese flying over us, filling the skies in years. Likely the bat's white nose disease will wipe out or nearly decimate certain varieties of bats, but hopefully not all. We need bats in our ecology, just as we need the domestic honey-bee, also under threat because of global economic factors.

I've got to get my paypal account back running so I can order those chapbooks!

Channeling Star Wars...

Use the checkbook, Queen Maggie. Use the checkbook!

With which, she doffed her keyboard, looked away from her beloved monitor, applied pen to checkbook, and mailed real physical paper from her home to SRM Publishers. And through the miracle of ancient banking practices, lo and behold, a chapbook was soon winging its way to her...

;D -yeah, but physical checks have to be manually added to the banking register on the computer to keep the books balanced, AND they necessitate me going out and buying new stamps. It's only been since I started doing all my banking via computer that I've managed to get every bill paid, on! time! and to know how much I've got in there. For disorganized me, checks are not a good thing. (said with a smile. I don't do snarky)

Ooog! Baad tooth .... Hope it's not too awful!
