rolanniSubmitted last evening, "Eleutherios," a short story by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller commissioned for the Baen front page, January 2013 publication date.
While I was finishing the story up, the authors' proofs for Necessity's Child arrived, with a deadline for return of next Tuesday.
I'll be on the couch with a pot of coffee, two Maine Coon cats, three red pens, and a clutch of colored stick-it tabs.
Y'all be good.

Date: 2012-11-20 06:53 pm (UTC)Having just finished a re-read of all of the novels (including the Necessity's Child e-arc) in internal chronological order, followed by all 19 chapbooks, I am nagged by the question of who/where is Luken bel'Tarda's heir. Surely clan/Line history (as reported in the story with Anthora and the rug), custom and Code all require him to have one?
Have I missed a reference to a younger bel'Tarda who is off being a scout or Trader and unavailable even in the crisis of Plan B and the removal to Surebleak? Or is there a relevant story I have need to seek out?

Date: 2012-11-22 12:25 am (UTC)Though I *have* wondered why Anthora didn't mention them, when she's checking on the clan, after Plan B has been declared ...

As much as star-faring and trading is bred into that family, "dutiful" always struck me as an odd adjective. Something like "Fortunate" or "Profitable" or "Rewarding" seemed more appropriate to me -- unless it refers to the "duty to the clan," or maybe it's a tongue-in-cheek reference to all the different customs duties they'd have to deal with -- lol!
I've always thought there must be an interesting story to Ren Zel dea'Judan --
