Schedules and A Call for Volunteers

[rolanni]

So, the various annual schedules that we keep here at the Cat Farm and Confusion Factory are starting to fill up.

First, we have the Publishing Schedule, which, to the best of my current understanding, looks like this:

January 15. . . . . ."Eleutherios" published to the Baen website
February 5. . . . . .Necessity's Child hardcover (and audio?)
July 2. . . . . . . . . . Liaden Universe® Constellation Volume 1
August 6. . . . . . . Dragonwriter (essays honoring Anne McCaffrey & Pern)
August 27. . . . . .Dragon Ship mass market

Then, we have the Delivery Schedule, to wit:

February 14. . . . . .Carousel Sun
August 15 . . . . . . .Carousel Seas

The Travel Schedule so far as we presently know it:

February 15-17. . . . . .Boskone 50
End of May. . . . . .NYC

And! the all-important Cat Birthdays:

March 1. . . . . .Mozart, 15 years
April 12. . . . . .Socks, 7 years
September 1. . . . . .Scrabble's Approximately Designated 11 years

Call for Volunteers:  Boskone

Now, asyouknowBob, February is the Silver Anniversary Month of the Liaden Universe®. We're going to be doing some web-celebrating, and we'll also be hosting a party at Boskone.  It is with the latter that we need some help.

Specifically, we need somebody who can go to Costco or the grocery store or whatever works in Boston with a list and money (provided by the authors).  Alternatively, someone local with a car who can drive author(s) to
Costco/grocery/whatever works on Friday afternoon and help with the schlepping.

Also! we need someone to help with the party itself, including possibly occupying a room on the party floor.

If you can help with any of this, please drop Steve a note at kinzelATkorvalDOTcom

Thanks!

I hope you can come on the weekend. I live in Nj and would come into the city on the weekend (work precludes the weekday trip, in general).. Would love to meet the two of you as well as other fans of yours.

Trade Secrets

It isn't on the publishing or delivery schedule. Has it been abandoned?

Not abandoned, only complicated.

Complicated? Ooh, poor Jethri ...

It's the bows. Twin gurl wizards, trading deals with 20 layers of interlocking, even the scorn of Terran traders, those he could handle with aplomb. But the bows! With flourishes.

My theory is that Trade Secrets has multiplied into a series. After all, you let those family secrets loose, and what happens! Right. Everyone starts coming out of the closets, cloning chambers, Batcher vats, or whatever. And then the Uncle gets into the act...

Of course, I'm just twiddling my fingers and neurons without any basis in fact or fantasy. But it is fun to think about more Jethri and company, eh?

Coming soon! (or later?)
