But I don't want to leave out those who haven;t joined over there.

A snippet, from Dragon Ship:

There was a cat, brownish orange, with a distinct grin, staring at the pilot from the rear view screen. It hadn't been there a few seconds before, and it's position was such that it appeared in danger of slipping off the slick exoskin and sliding into the void with the least hint of thrust or touch of atmosphere.

Thanks for the kind words ... but 2 things --

Thing the first:

Never correct a snippet. Really. This was something no more than 25 minutes off a first (very first) draft ... no one has looked at it twice, so there are daily and weekly reread corrections during the initial writing (so 25 or so reads), Sharon's go through with some rewrites, my re-go through after she's done that, the beta readers' go through, the editor's go through, the copy editor's go through, and the proof-copy go through (for two authors and several other editors, writers). As dyslexic, phonetic, and finger-fuddled as I am, if I have to write perfect copy the first time, the book stops here.

Thing the 2

...on the eArc question ... I'm without information. Someone from Baen, or from Baen's bar, will have to answer that -- we often don't know what's coming when until someone on our mailing list tells us.
