Sword of Orion work continues. Good ghod, is it really the 13th already?

Spent some time this morning catching up long overdue letters to Andre Norton and to Lyn McConchie. Looked at the bookkeeping and at the bills. Looked away.

Spaghetti for supper, then back to work.

I'm gone....

Actually, I make jewelry when my hands aren't bothering me--just weakened and bought some red sponge coral for a necklace for my niece (graduation beckons...) But selling it on E-Bay is way more nerve than I have.

All these artistic and accomplished people... I'm a huxter at heart, I guess; the selling-on-Ebay part of the enterprise seems merely everyday.

Is SWORD for MM, or for someone else? What's it about?

Sword is for John Ordover, over there to Phobos Entertainment. First of a projected seven-book series. It's set in a nice, sprawly space opera universe; the main character, a young woman named Jerel, is about sixteen when this book begins. She's studying to be a spaceship mechanic and has her future pretty well planned out. Gotta feel sorry for the kid...

I remember those days. Revision on the fly, that's what they should have taught us. Is Phobos print or E-book, I don't know them (I don't know any of the new ones, sigh.)

Phobos is <a href="http://www.phobosweb.com/index.html"print</a>

They've got <i>Sword of Orion</i> coming out in the fall and <i>Blood and Roses</i>, by Ann Tonsor Zeddies coming out I think in the summer. I've got a copy of Ann's book here to read when <i>Sword</i>'s outta my hair. Just peeking, it looks tasty -- France in 1917, a kick-ass heroine -- yum.

Looks like they're doing some quality covers--I like the Pixeltown one--but got bogged down with too many books by unknowns. Gotta pace those, or it can hurt the bottom line if too many too soon.

We'll seek you out, of course! %^)
