Retail reminders and opportunities to support the arts:

1.  Calamity’s Child echapbook (including Liaden Universe® story “Sweet Waters” and Steampunk short, “A Night at the Opera”) is on sale for the entire month of October (that’s now!) for $0.99US from the ebookstore of your choice:  BN, Smashwords, Amazon

2.  Frenchy and the Punk are this close to funding two brand-new-CDs over at Kickstarter.  Wouldn’t it be cool to be the donation that pushes them over the top?

3.  Also in Kickstarter news, C.E. Murphy is over the fence and running for higher ground.  The original goal has been met and the secondary goal, too! That means a second Gary short for those who donated to support the original novella.  The campaign is well on its way to accomplishing the third goal  — but this is getting complicated.  Go on over and take a look for yourselves.

4.  New Abney Park CD to be released on October 15! (holy crap, that’s this Saturday!)

5.  For those following the progress of Splinter Universe — I apologize.  “The Space at Tinsori Light,” scheduled for October, isn’t going to make it.  I need to stick with Necessity’s Child for the next while, and juggle a whole buncha real-life necessities.  I’ll try to get the story to you by Christmas.  Thank you for patience and understanding.

Necessities

[(Anonymous)]

While we are greedy and would welcome another addition to Splinter Universe, it is more important that the flow of creativity for Necessity's Child not be interrupted. We understand about priorities and not distracting the Muse when she is whispering (or yelling) in your ear. Do you have other bits of chapters from Ghost Ship that didn't make it into the final version but could stand alone to explicate a character's backstory which would enhance the Liaden experience as a whole? Or perhaps from other previous works?

And because inquiring minds wonder, how is Dragon Ship faring? I understand that Steve is the lead writer on that story and he hasn't let us peek over his shoulder to see and savor the progress. Of course we don't want to joggle his elbow because the sooner the story is turned in, the sooner we will know when we can begin to ramp up our anticipation factor for the assigned pub date.

I think the Daav bit (http://splinteruniverse.com/?page_id=211) that's already up at Splinter Universe is the only substantial outtake of Ghost Ship. Sometimes, when scenes are taken out of one book -- like the Kamele scene that was excised from Fledgling -- it comes back in another book -- in that case, Mouse and Dragon.

Dragon Ship progresses. It alas is following Ghost Ship's lead of being vewy, vewy shy, however.

Calamity's Child is also available through iBooks. The other chapbooks too.
