Subject: [LMB] new book


Just posted this to my blog --

I am pleased to report that a new Cordelia Vorkosigan novel has been
sold to Baen Books for publication, tentatively, in February of 2016.

The title is _Gentleman Jole and the Red Queen_.

It is not a war story. It is about grownups.

And that is probably all I ought to say right now in a venue read by the
spoiler-sensitive. It is, after all, a long haul till next February.

2016 will also mark the 30th anniversary of my first publication by
Baen, which ought to be good for a little PR fun.

Ta, L.

Thanks! Just finished both Campaign and Alliance, and am going back to Shards now...

I'm a bit envious that you get to experience these Bujold novels for the first time. Otoh, later, multiple re-reads have their own rewards.

Rereads are amazing. I feel the same way about new Jane Austen readers (even though I sadly know most of them will dislike Mansfield Park, one of the dearest to me, and a significant portion will dislike Emma, my absolute dearest). But as you say, rereads are completely rewarding on their own. :)

When the Jane Austen movies started coming out in the late '90s, I watched them & thought, whoa! they've made good movies out of something very like Georgette Heyer novels. Of course, good source material always helps.

Now I'm wishing they *would* make good movies out of Heyer novels. I'd be all over that like me on chocolate. You'd think PBS would do something. At a couple of books per year, with 2-3 episodes per book, that'd keep them busy [& us all watching] in perpetuity.

That would be interesting. I'm not sure Heyer has the cachet of Austen to get made or attract A-list talent, though I've no doubt it would be profitable. It's certainly more interesting than high school dramas. :)
