Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
Sorry. Been away meeting commitments. Publisher: Jim Baen. Which, among a great many other things, means I shall have to put off buying ... I was going to say "that private jet", but reality calls for "lean meat" ... until next year.
The title is still up for grabs. They can dig the rest of it, but those few words have to get by Homeland Security and the Baptist Council. At this time, all I am authorized to tell you is that the number of zeros on the paycheck are "few", even though a better word might be "seldom".
I am thinking that decimal points are somewhat "often", in fact.
All that fiduciary shiznit off to one side, the thing seems to be going forward.
There are persons who represent themselves as "agents" who are now haunting my answering machine. I have to ask myself ... "What kind of agent stalks a Baen buy?"

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Gus, so it's scifi/fantasy?
I'm trying to remember who I know who's been published by Baen.

deb, it is "romance-fi", Gawd help me.
Baen is going into a branch, if you takes me meaning. If you had a "Scouts" novel in mind, it might fit.

It may not make you rich, Gus, but you're in good company at Baen. For one, Baen accepted the first Lois McMaster Bujold book after multiple rejections. I'm looking forward to the book to be named later.

I'm looking forward to the day when there is a buffista books section in all local bookshops.

Dang. I read that last entry of mine and I instantly regretted it. It could be construed to be minus-Deb.
NOT my intention! What a Sphincter of the Whole World am I?

Nah, Gus, we're totally cool. And I'm with Ginger; Baen has taken some chances. But it's going to make me nuts trying to remember who among my acquaintance is with Baen, damn it. Because you could get them to blurb for you.

Like I could get Bujold to come out with the "Go, Gus!"
I wish.
Baen's current list is like Asaro (ON TOPIC), Allson (not so much ontopic), and some people who are "with" some people ...
OK. I am getting sad.
