rolanniUploaded Changeling to Smashwords and linked it up good and proper over at Pinbeam Books. I know it’s Not the Done Thing for writers to say good stuff about old work, but I do like Changeling. A fine story. I’m glad we wrote it.
Let’s see, what else? Steve and I have come up with a list of thirteen stories to tell live! on the web! Contrary to our Initial Vision, not all of those listed are Ride the Luck and/or Aelliana-and-Daav stories. There’s a reason for this, and the reason is:
Baen contractually has first dibs on the next Liaden novel. We will therefore not even tempt our backbrains with the cookie of “linked stories” because you can see exactly where that would go, can’t you? Don’t despair though — there is one Ride the Luck story in the mix, and I’m sure there will be more, assuming we’re all sufficiently amused to keep at this awhile.
What else on the day? A warm one, bright and sunny. Changes coming at the day-job. Exciting changes. No, I’m serious. But, before the exciting changes, the staff picnic development day, on Wednesday. I signed up for a couple of interesting lectures, and Lunch With Seven Strangers, with sounds rather like a play in the style of Murder by Death.
I should upload another ebook to Smashwords tonight, but, yanno? I’m going to go read for an hour, and rest my hands.
Hope everyone had a splendid Monday!

New stories - Hurrah!

Ren Zel became one of my favorite characters from his introduction and the story also featured The Tree, Merlin, Jeeves and Anthora - what's not to like?

Date: 2011-06-07 12:43 pm (UTC)'Way back when I was new here, one of the English professors happened across me in the lounge, red-lining what would have been "Misfits." She asked me what I was doing, I explained that my husband and I wrote science fiction and I was going through a story under contract. She thought it was cute that the History secretary wrote scifi stories and so mentioned the fact at the next meeting of the English department faculty.
Whereupon one of the faculty present exclaimed, "She's THAT Sharon Lee?" and took over the meeting for the next ten minutes to give a short course on Liaden novels...
Keeping a low profile, let me show you how not to.

Date: 2011-06-07 01:57 pm (UTC)I'm amused by "She's THAT Sharon Lee?" Just been following a discussion elsenet about disdain for SF from the literary establishment, which is sometimes present and sometimes - not.
And Changeling is one of my favorites too.

Also, documentation is sent out for translation into 5 or 6 languages. I'm sure the team that handles that is really excited about the changes.
You are a delight and a joy

I'll be snickering over "...THAT Sharon Lee?" for awhile.

PS Am listening to Coope, Boyes and Simpson - English Folk Songs from the WW I era. Excellent a capella folk in the style of sea
chanties rather than in the style of the music hall. My favorite
is Polly On the Shore about one of the demimonde who, um, took
over Sailor Town. You'd like her...
