Well, we're big rock singers; we got golden fingers

The revisions came back on the essay; happily, nothing drastic.  I'll deal with them...tomorrow.  Or Saturday.

This morning, FedEx brought another 600-ish tip-in pages for Necessity's Child for Steve and me to sign, so -- good on y'all who pre-ordered signed copies!

Also! Did you know that February 2013 is the Silver Anniversary of the Liaden Universe®? That's right, in February 1988, the paperback original of a quirky little space opera titled Agent of Change, by Steve Miller and Sharon Lee, appeared in bookstores everywhere! And the rest?  Is history!

In celebration of the persistence of history, we'll be hosting a combined book release party/silver anniversary at Boskone -- more details as they're nailed down.

We ought to plan a web celebration, too, for the folks who can't make Boskone.  What do you think we should do?

Twenty-five years, and all of the Liaden books are in print.  That's really kind of awesome, actually.

And in other news, I cleaned the bathroom.

All is silver

I, too, now have the Dr. Hook earworm running in my head. Could be worse, I guess. This weekend it was an aria by a long dead Swedish tenor.

It doesn't seem like it has been 25 years since I bought Agent of Change, romped through it in one gulp and made the mistake of loaning it to my father. He loaned it to my stepbrothers and I never saw it again. Now, I buy the e-ditions and loan it to my brothers; my dad buys the dead trees version and lends it where he will. I even offered him a free nook reader, but the digital revolution seems to have passed him by. After all, he is 85.

Congrats on your 25th.
