And Eidolon Makes Twelve

[rolanni]

Eidolon: Adventures in the Liaden Universe® Number Fourteen has been uploaded to the Nook Store and to the Kindle Store. Look for it tomorrow, late afternoonish, I’d guess.

Today’s mail brings correspondence from the Scranton Claim Office of the Connecticut General Life Insurance Company, which has a Chattanooga address. CIGNA imparts the happy news that it is rejecting payment of a bill for ambulance services submitted on our behalf by the Bangor Fire Department, because — wait for it — the Bangor Fire Department is not an approved vendor.

O, rly?

*sees long, acrimonious phone conversation in her very near future*

But, honestly, what can you expect from people who think Scranton’s in Tennessee?

OK, I’m calling it a night.

Stay safe, y’all.

Nook and Kindle, not Baen?

Is that the current ... chapbook thing? I'm still confused on which of those I've read and which I haven't.

As Steve & Sharon have said elsewhere, historically Baen hasn't been able to do micropayment-type stuff very well. (Though there are indications that may be changing, things are still a bit unsettled there.) Amazon and B&N can, plus they pay 65-70% of the cover price to the authors.

Not to worry, though: both the Kindle and Nook books are DRM-free, so you can read them on anything that will read Mobi or EPUB files, and convert them to other formats with Calibre if necessary.

Also, note that this listing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liaden_universe#Short_stories) will help you figure out which ones you've read and which you haven't.

As for me: Eidolon list of titles I've wanted to see as e-books, and this was on it! :)

Nook, Kindle. Not Baen. In-depth reason here (http://rolanni.livejournal.com/662666.html?thread=5042826#t5042826)

As many people will helpfully tell you, almost all of the stories contained in the seventeen existing AitLU chapbooks are already available from Baen, and much cheaper, too.

Kamele Waitley and Jeeves

The Wikipedia is a great resource for those of us who can't remember titles for beans. I've been using it often in these days of chapbook posting-- and here I must add my gratitude both for the posting AND for the Wiki index.
Someone bolder than I should add Kamele Waitley to the article, however, and perhaps some of the other personages from Fledgling and Saltation.

On a slightly different topic, I was trying to look up Jeeves and discovered he's not there, either. In what story does Daav tell Aelliana about Jeeves's entering the family? As I recall, Jeeves was a project of Shan's and Daav's.
