While we were on the road

[kinzel]

While we were waltzing down and up the East Coast for SheVaCon some people were busily at work...
and a friend has been collecting signs of that and passing it on.

For example:
Local Custom sound bites from Michael Shanks

And there's this:
Which is a series of quick book summaries featuring
Crystal Soldier
among other things...

And in and among...
we see that that bn.com has Crystal Solider ranked at ... 781, up from
29,657 a few days ago. I guess they're shipping. Ooops -- now that's 753....
go us!

Oh yes,
News 11 in Texas has Crystal Soldier listed on their February books page ...
not much to look at here, really, but a list of books

Great seeing you guys at Sheva, even if it was only for 5 minutes. Work just wouldn't release their claim on my soul, so Mary got my badge for the weekend. :>

I pre-ordered Crystal Soldier last week, and then received a message saying the shipment would be delayed since the publisher had "changed the release date".

As of this morning, B&N is telling me that my order for Crystal Soldier is scheduled to ship on March 30th :-(

Amazon.com rank

I just checked my account at Amazon.com re shipping date for Crystal Soldier: they are still saying 2 to 3 weeks BUT your rank = 590 in books. Go you!!!
As brief answer to Sharon: Crystal Soldier makes me want to read Part 2 of the Duology. It is a definite stand alone to me because it starts a whole new way of looking at the universe THEN. To me Jela is the Sentient Tree's sidekick and loyal friend. Cantra is cool enough to honor and appreciate that bond. I keep reliving Jela's walk from one fallen tree to the next; as each succeeding tree shrinks, Jela's admiration rises. Having read all the other books, it IS nice to know that Jela and the Tree survive, but it isn't necessary info.
