Bits and pieces

[julesjones]

Random bits from the last few days:

I have a likely publication date for Black Leather Rose -- earlier than my editor and I were hoping for, alas. Yes, alas from my perspective, because with two books out within two months, it would have been useful to have my only other release this year come out a bit further towards the end of the year. The proposed date is "soon", for those used to reading between the lines of Loose Id terminology, but is not yet set in stone. I'll be putting together the book's pages for my website later this week, but if you poke around my website you'll find the excerpt from the short story version that was published a couple of years ago.

Google has managed to creep me out, with something that's probably going to get its own post in the next few days.

Someone has nominated Spindrift 2: Ship to Shore for the 2007 Spectrum Awards. No, not me -- I didn't even know about this until I read about it in elisa_rolle's post.

I am obviously getting old, because I didn't do any of the driving, the hotel is smaller and didn't involve several miles of walking per day just to get between panels -- and I am still knackered today.

Congrats on the nom! YAY! I know Hugo AND Spectrum Awards nominees!

Thanks. :-) The first book in the Spindrift series was a nominee last year, but didn't make the short list -- but I'm not complaining, given one of the other names on the "other nominees" list...

I admit I don't pay a lot of attention sometimes. I'm vaguely remembering your nom last year, though.
