This just in!

The proofs for Carousel Seas, the Thrilling Conclusion to the Archers Beach Carousel Trilogy by Sharon Lee, that started with Carousel Tides, and continued in Carousel Sun, just landed in my inbox!

What this means to you -- yes, you! -- is that the eARC of this long-awaited novel should be available for purchase on the Baen site realsoonnow.

You know what to do, I think?

Splendid.

I'll be over here, finishing a short story.

The half-a-book scheme preceded the invention of eARCs. It used to be called Webscriptions, and was targeted both at bargain-hunters - you got all of Baen's offerings of the month for a low bundle price - and earlybirds - two serial installments would come three and two months before official Book Day, with the final proofed version, in all formats, available a couple of weeks before stores had it.

The eARC was a later development, when it was found that there was a substantial market for getting the entire book NOW, never mind if it has typos or costs more. NOW!
