This just in!

[rolanni]

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.

Re: new book

[rolanni.livejournal.com]

The half-book is something completely different, which I Freely Admit not to understand. Baen does many things which are peculiar to itself, including pre-selling books in "bundles." The half-book is a bundle thing, and I'm not even sure if you can buy the January bundle anymore.

The eARC is the completed book and matches exactly the authors proofs which I now have sitting on my desk. What it doesn't have are the corrections that I'll be making in the proofs so that the final book will be as error-free as possible. Which leads one to wonder how that half-book is going to play, but honestly? That's Someone Else's Problem.

I probably haven't made things clearer.

Hmmm.

This is the link at which the eARC should manifest: http://www.baenebooks.com/?__utma=222178315.1035680871.1397925075.1413216242.1413221386.268&__utmb=222178315.1.10.1413221386&__utmc=222178315&__utmx=-&__utmz=222178315.1408123147.155.3.utmcsr=google|utmccn=%28organic%29|utmcmd=organic|utmctr=%28not%20provided%29&__utmv=-&__utmk=177251110

in a reasonable universe, just over top of the now-toppest eARC for Strands of Sorrow.
