That's a bummer about COG, Gud. Better luck with Dragonfire.
P-C, that rocks dude! I'll watch for the story on Kindle. That's Genius Loci, right?
Willow: Were there dolphins? Tara: Yes. Many dolphins at the pound. Willow: Was there a camel? Tara: There was the front of a camel. A half-camel.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
No, that's Book Smugglers. When they publish, they go all out, with each individual story being released on ebook platforms to purchase in addition to being free to read on the website. It's really impressive, and as far as I can tell, they're funding it all on their own, out-of-pocket.
Genius Loci will be released in paper and ebook formats whenever it comes out. There should be a Kickstarter once Jaym gets done with edits, so you can pre-order that way.

Because books.
(This is why -- well, one of the reasons -- we love Ginger. She knows all.)

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Those are excellent examples, Ginger. Those are both well-loved books. AWiT is one of what I consider my 'life-saver' books - not just comfort reading, but the kind of reading that is essential when my soul feels wounded.
I hope Cog will become that sort of book for people one day.

This isn't the thread for fanfic, but I knew people would appreciate this: I'm writing, I'm writing, I'm writing. I didn't know if I'd still be able to after Hubby. I haven't been able to write in so many months. It's both wonderful and sad that I've got it back.

That's awesome, Connie!
