Despite the warning, I’m wildly overexcited about the possibility of ‘Ivan’ now…

I’m hoping my copy of Cryoburn arrives soon: I bought, read and enjoyed the eARC, but I’m looking forward to having an actual book copy for the reread.

JulieR, that sounds like a good event. I really love hearing more about the writing process from the authors, as well as tips on their current projects.

Thanks for the link!

Thanks for the info on author signings. It never occurred to me to go to one until a column here at AAR a while back inspired me. In fact, just last night I went to my first-ever author signing: Lois McMaster Bujold, in Mountain View, CA, part of her tour for her new book “Cryoburn”. You can see the rest of her tour schedule at http://www.baen.com/blurbs/calendar.asp.

It was a standing-room-only crowd of maybe 100 or so people. She took questions for about 45 minutes, then read from a work in progress, which has the working title of “Ivan”. All you Vorkosigan fans know who that is! But be aware that she says she’s hit a plot wall and doesn’t have a contract for “Ivan” and won’t promise when, or even if, we’ll ever see it in book form. Other potential books she mentioned are the “Mother” and “Father” books to round out the Chalion series. (If it’s been a while since you read any Chalion, the three existing books were each thematically centered around a particular god: the Daughter, the Son, and the Bastard.)

I’m not sure I’d drive much further than the half hour drive I had to take last night just to get a book signed. But the opportunity to hear more about how an author thinks, what inspired her, her writing process — all these were very interesting and worth that drive and more. And getting a reading from a potential new book was just the icing on the cake.
