CryoBurn

Post by LMB »

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. (drained but pleased)

(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.)

Wonderful! Now comes the hard part for us(waiting patiently). ;)

Sounds pretty interesting. But then, all Miles books are. :)






(Edited because I just realized that I might have unintentionally insulted LMB by suggesting that writing the book was easy, which I most assuredly do NOT believe. The hard part for us as readers, of course, is knowing the book is done, and having to wait over a year to finally get a chance to enjoy the fruits of her labor.)
