Well, sometime it feels like we're riding in all directions at once....

and so, later today, if you visit Second Life, we're going to be dropping by the Friends of Liad Park between 3 and 5 PM Eastern (I think that's Noon and 2 PM SL time)..
and you're welcome to drop in, too. If no one else is there when you get in, look for a book or two on the benches or in the pavilion... science fiction classics you can read while you wait. Meanwhile I had a nice chat with someone on Second Life who's just a half-day drive from Penguicon... might have convinced him to stop by!

My schedule today, beside getting to the park on time, includes final layout (I really hope) of Calamity's Child, some work on Web of The Trident, and tweaks and fiddles on some web stuff... as well as an hour or so of book packing...

Speaking of book packing... my count says that we've shipped several hundred signed copies of Crystal Dragon so far, and between Rolanni and I hope to get around 50 or a hundred more out tomorrow...

Riding off in all directions at once yesterday we went to Unity to mail some SRM stuff and pick up mail and then to Augusta to 1) Get out of the house a bit, 2) pick up some late-model PDF application which permits us to edit PDFs, and 3) stopped by BN's Augusta store hoping to do a signing... instead, at BN we got a real education on how the system works, a discussion of modeling, print out of our listings on the computer, -- it was really great to see Barnes and Noble offering to get copies of the chapbooks and even showing the forthcoming Calamity's Child.... but it was sad to see that while Crystal Dragon has been running in the 500s to 700s at amazon much of this week that BN still hadn't managed to get any of the 10 copies to Augusta, our closest BN store... we also saw a new Susan Krinard book face out in the "new book section, so that, at least, was good news.

Well,
sometime toward the end of 2007, I guess. Depends on many things.

That's pretty much been the plan since the Companion series was first envisioned. We have *other work* needing done. Like novels and short stories and scheduled chapbooks and conventions. We also have scheduled medical things, like finishing the rebuild of my mouth, which has been going on for almost two years now, and our expenses are paid out of pocket....

The collection requires a lot of time, particularly since so much of it is done in house. We also have to arrange the financing, since it isn't cheap to produce, and we're working writers, and see above re rebuild of my mouth and expenses needing covering.

I'm expecting that if LUC2 comes out between September and December of next year that LUC 3 will come out in in the same period of 2009.

Darn. I had not intended to post this as 'anonymous'. Darn cold must be getting to me.

For those of us incapable of writing down directions when we first see them... could you repeat the Second Life address to get to the park? And is that where the carousel is?

I received my pre-ordered copy today from Chapters.ca but for some strange reason it's still listed as "Temporarily Unavailable to Order" on their website <http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/books/item/books-978159222087/1592220878/crystal+dragon+book+two+of+the+great+migration+duology> (I order my copy ages ago before the availability changed to this a month or so ago).

I think what happened was that demand overtook the distributor and they underestimated demand, not knowing how many copies of our books have been making their way north of the border.

Hi, tech issue preventing access to Second Life. Can you perhaps share overview of happening, and next date at "FOL" Park? Thank you! Shawna

I managed to miss ordering a signed copy (at least, I think I did), so I've been looking to pick up a copy through my local B&N store. In fact, I was making a pest of myself, asking them to check their inventory system two or three times a week.

Alas, my patience wore out. I ordered a copy on Amazon.com last Thursday, and received it today.
