DRAGON IN EXILE

by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller

Approximately 129,659 words

September 15, 2014

That is a wrap. The novel has been emailed to Madame the Editor and is now officially Her Problem.

For those playing along at home, Dragon in Exile is, according to the Card File of Notoriety, the 67th piece of collaborative fiction Lee and Miller have committed. It may also be the hardest novel we've ever written, but it'll take a few days in the Objective Zone to fully decide that.

Right now, my head is full of wet spaghetti, and I'm exhausted, as is Traditional. Unfortunately, I really can't go to sleep right now, though there's nothing that says I can't sit on the porch and doze in the sun, so that's what I'm going to do.

I will be contacting the winners of the Carousel Seas Birthday Surprise Contest tomorrow, Monday, September 15. Thank you for your patience.

And now the waiting begins...

Maybe not so long a wait. Rumor is that this one will be out in June 2015. Trying to get verification on that, since the last message concerning pub date included the word "probably."

Stupid question: I assume it's a Liaden novel -- where does it fit in the continuity?

[rolanni.livejournal.com]

Liaden novel, check.

where does it fit in the continuity?

During and after _Dragon Ship_, on Surebleak as the natives come to realize that they've been the victims of a, um, corporate takeover or an alien invasion, take your pick.

The practical natives don't mind being taken over, I hope ....

And congratulations!! May there be at least 67 more such crimes!

I'm impressed by this being your hardest novel you've ever written. I seem to recall author's notes on the Crystal Duology that you had to wait 20 years to get good enough to write those books. So can hardly wait for this one! Thank you so much for persisting.

We're ready and eager for you to post a small 129,659 word snippet any time now ;p
