Beautiful morning
What a beautiful morning, with the sun glinting on the snow at the top of the mountain....
meanwhile, closer, neighborhood dogs are barking.
Let me apologize now for typos... I'm rushing...
Had a great day yesterday, including meals with a number of good people, a second visit to my favorite Colorado Springs restaurant, some fun panels, and a good time until the early hours in room 201 where we were joined by people who came from coast-to-coast to be part of the Liaden Lounge and the Liaden Universe World Tour... oh yeah, and we had an invite to an anthology as well.
This morning we have panels starting at 10 AM, and before that breakfast with the Friends of Liad in the hotel restaurant... I'm still in bare toes and need to get ready, so off I go...

Baen's Universe
Wondering if y'all had heard that Jim Baen is starting an e-book SFF magazine with the express purpose of reinvigorating the market for less-than-novel-length SFF material. Any chance of getting some Liaden or other stories heading his way?
(from www.baensuniverse.com):
We want you to help us save science fiction and fantasy.
No kidding. Read on and we will explain. What we want you to do is to become part of something that's exciting, that's important, and that'll change the way science fiction and fantasy are published.
We call it Jim Baen's Universe. (www.baensuniverse.com)
It looks like a magazine and that's what it is: an on-line magazine. But we're paying better rates to authors for less-than-novel-length material than any fantasy or science fiction magazine has in decades. That will give your favorite authors — from all publishers, not just Baen Books, a financial incentive to write stories aimed at a popular audience and re-establish the connection that used to exist between the magazines and the novel market.
Re: Baen's Universe
the chance of our sending any Liaden material to the publication in question is pretty slim...
Consider that...
1)We're in the midst of a couple of novel deadlines and we've also got some anthology stories due.
2) Between now and New Year '07 we expect to publish two or more of our own chapbooks. We usually retain reprint and electronic rights to all our stories; we've been making a living with this model since 1995 and don't see how we can reconcile our usual approach with Baen's.
3) No Baen editor has indicated pressing interest in anything from Lee & Miller by contacting Lee & Miller. See 2 above -- it doesn't look like we'd be a good match.
