HUZZAH!!!

HIP-HIP, HUZZAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Damn, I'm gonna have to get in line again at the Amazon store.
Between Honor, Harry Potter, and Tom Clancy, when the Hell am I supposed to
go to work and support this habit?
Hardcover books are NOT cheap! On the other hand, they ain't cheap, either.
Know what I mean, Vern?

See ya 'round the library.

That's great. I was really upset that Giancola didn't get his comeuppance
along with High Ridge and his crew and that both sides are thinking that
each has been had by the other.

I wanted to quote DW's message about new books on Baen's Bar but it doesn't
seem to be there any longer. anyway he was talking about working with Eric
Flint on the sequel to The Crown Of slaves (planning to write 5-6 books in
this series) and starting (with Flint?) a new side series with the first
book called The Shadow of Saganami (Honor has a cameo appearance in this
one). This series is also supposed to have 5-6 books in it. Plus he's
thinking about half a dozen new HH books including the one plans to turn in
around Xmas. I don't know if Christmas is a publication date or (more
likely) the projected deadline with Baen. At any rate we can count on at
least 15 more books set in Honorverse and 3 of them coming within a year or
two. Way to go David!

This one (see below for full text) ?
[IIRC from a couple of years ago David Weber said it was OK
to repost his words from there to here].

Incidentally, if you are using a news reader, rather than web access
to this newsgroup then Bryan Halvorson offers a Mirror of Baen's Bar,
using 'proper' news server software that has much longer retention times
than the bar itself.

Thus all of David Weber's recent posts are still available there.
Currently it has all the baen.buships posts back to the beginning of
December 2003.

news.sector14.net - No ID and no Password - to post you need to use an
email address that belongs to an valid Baen's Bar ID.


Note that a December 2004 turn in for the next main story arc HH book
might mean a delay of 12 months before it is published, but I suspect that
Baen will try to hurry it out in only six or eight months.
The required delay apparently being less to do with editing, and more with
the time that Baen and especially S&S (Baen's Distributor) take to
organise its marketing and distribution.

Personally I hope that DW isn't as hurried and that he has time to do the
extra editing/trimming step that he admits was missing from _War of Honor_.


Martin.

Okay. I really don't have time to be doing this even now, but I decided to drop
in for a few minutes, and look what happened.

First, the schedule. I just turned in Shadow of Saganami which is due to be
released sometime this Fall (I think). It's "mainstream," although not centered
around Honor. (She makes a cameo appearance in Chapter One.) Basically, this
one is about events on the periphery and the beginnings of ... how shall I put
this? A certain growing state of tension with the Solarian League. It also
introduces some new characters I'm rather fond of, but its main function
(structurally speaking) in the Honorverse as a whole is to help explain how we
get to that bit in my original background notes about the entire human-settled
galaxy choosing up sides. Truth is, folks, the ride is going to get rougher,
not smoother. (chortle)

I will be doing the next "straight Honor" book sometime this fall with a
turn-in date hopefully before Christmas. It will be carefully coordinated with
the Ssaganami Island and Crown of Slaves series, and I will be using all three
of them to weave the future history of the Honorverse together. If things work
they way they are supposed to, Eric and I should also be handing in the second
COS novel sometime the first half of this year. And I think there will be
another anthology somewhere along in here. The game plan is to bring them out
at a rate of about one per year.

I have done a little rethinking about where this entire series is going
(heh-he). It will lead to most of the same events, but the road map just got a
bit trickier and I think most readers will find it more satisfying, to boot. I
hope so, anyway.

Current thinking on my part (all subject to revision) is that there will be 5-7
books in the Saganami series, 5-7 books in the COS series, and probably another
5 or so in the core "Honor" series. Total of 15-20 or so. In addition, I still
intend eventually to do a shorter series (maybe 5 books total) set around the
life and accomplishments of Stephanie Harrington and the first treecats.

On the family front, we are coming up on the year anniversary of bringing the
girls home from Cambodia, and every single damned instant of every single
damned thing the worthless bastards at INS did to us was worth it, worth it,
WORTH IT! I think the dedication to Wind Rider's Oath should sum that up
nicely.

Take care, all,
David

No, not with me. I'll be co-authoring the Crown of Slaves sequels -- call
that the "Torch sub-series" -- but not the Saganami Island novels. At
least, there are plans for that now. He does stay in touch with me
regarding it, because the two series -- as well as the mainline HH series,
for that matter -- will constantly interweave with each other. But unless
something changes, Dave will be writing all the books in the Saganami Island
sub-series on his own.

As far as the next "regular" HH novel goes, I know he's planning to start
writing it this year.

Speaking of Crown of Slaves--why do you assume that religion
is the only reason against casual sex?<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Oh goody, an abortion thread. Maybe this will be the one, unlike every
other abortion thread I've ever read or heard of, which finally
converts all present to <my position> by the sheer force of reason.

On the other hand, maybe it will explode into a huge flame war which
will generate hundreds of angry posts and wind up with everyone
believing exactly what they did before, only more vehemently.

Louann, not optimistic.

At the risk of being inflammatory, that ain't much of an answer.

I know several women who felt nothing but complete and utter relief, and who
have never regretted their abortion for even a single moment.

It works both ways, but you can't use one side to deny the other.
