SIGNAL BOOST: 
Pat Rothfuss (aka author Patrick Rothfuss) runs a charity called Worldbuilders, that raises money for Heifer International .  This year's fundraiser goes over at midnight on February 7, and there are still lots of cool gifts and raffle items available for those who donate.  To make things sweeter, Worldbuilders is matching 50% of all donations made until the end of the fundraiser, and! for every $10 donated, people get a chance in a raffle for a whole bunch of really awesome books.  Check out the blog post here

ADVERT the FIRST:
The annual SF Site Readers Choice Awards nomination period is open! until March 9.  Rules and how to nominate the best books of 2011 here   (psst!  Ghost Ship by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller was published in August, 2011).

ADVERT the SECOND:
I direct the attention of my fellow SFWANs to "The Space at Tinsori Light," as a novelette worthy of Nebula consideration. It may presently be read for free here

EYE CANDY:
The excellent Dirk van den Boom, translator extraodinaire, sends along this link to his blog, featuring the cover art for the first half of the German Edition of I Dare, available from Verlag Atlantis in Summer 2012.

And that's all I've got.

Scalzi really is right - German sf books all seem to have planets and spaceships. Not having read sf&f in my native tongue for about 25 years now, this is suprising to me ^^ - And Showdown for Clan Korval is just about as nifty as showdown at OK Corral.

Anyway, may Liaden conquer another country and lots of fellow Germans discover you! May your translation shine ^^

Wow, you're almost the only English authors that Atlantis publishes, they mainly do German sf&f. Nifty ^^

Is that supposed to be one of the defense platforms orbiting Laid?

Very retro style -- I like it.
