rolanniSword 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....

Do you know how Andre is? I haven't heard back from her from the holidays--sent her a short story for her amusement--but at her age, long silences are disturbing, and I hesitate to call, not knowing her that well.

Date: 2005-02-13 06:10 pm (UTC)The car situation has not yet been resolved. At the moment, Kinzel and I are in meltdown mode for a book that must absolutely without fail be turned in no later than February 22. Which is why I've been scarce. Crystal Dragon is on hold at the moment, which gorples me mightily; I so wanted to have that first draft done before we left for SheVaCon. Can't be helped, though; Sword of Orion has dibs.

And of course as I prepared to answer you, the note came down about Andre in the hospital. ARGH! I **really** want Andre to recover completely from this. I dearly hope she gets another two or three good years, and then slips away peacefully. I mailed a note today with flower seeds in it--I forgot to remind her that her Green Man is waiting in her garden for her.

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'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.
