Well, darn, now I'll have to reread them all to get ready for the new book! (I've been waiting years for this to come out. Sure, I love her Chalionverse books, but after reading the first of her Sharing Knife books, I never bothered to read the rest. But her Vorkosiverse books I cannot rec highly enough.)
Y'know, choosing from among my (many) vorkosiverse quote icons was difficult for this post.
Hi all --
The new Vorkosiverse book, henceforth to be titled CryoBurn, is finished and turned in to Baen.
To recap information mentioned previously, the story is an Auditorial investigation that takes place on a planet new to readers, called New Hope II or Kibou-daini. Miles is 39, to go by the very Miles-centered series chronology we've been using. The story uses three viewpoints: Miles, Roic, and a local lad named Jin. The general mode is mystery/thriller/technological-social exploration. About 103,000 words, in twenty chapters and an epilogue.
The book is, tentatively, on the Baen publication schedule for late 2010, probably November.
bests, Lois.
(And my I recommend, again, Edward Gorey's timeless little classic about the writing life, The Unstrung Harp, or, Mr Earbrass Writes a Novel. I nearly always pull it out to re-read toward the end of a book project. It gets funnier every year.)
