I’ve just sent the final (I think) version of Realms of Light<\/i><\/a> to FoxAcre Press<\/a>. I’m hoping it’ll see print, both on paper and as a Kindle edition, some time this summer.<\/p>\n

I’m still $23 short of posting Chapter Fourteen of the first draft. There are twenty chapters in all.<\/p>\n

At this point you may be thinking you’ll just wait and buy the finished book, which is perfectly reasonable — it’ll almost certainly cost less than $25. However, anyone in the U.S. who donates $25 or more to the serial will receive a copy of the finished book, and<\/b>, if they want one, a copy of Nightside City<\/i> — I have about a dozen copies of the Del Rey edition that will be sent out on a first-come, first-served basis to those donors who request them, and others will get the FoxAcre reprint, which includes an “Afterword” the Del Rey paperback lacks.<\/p>\n

Also<\/b>, donors will receive a copy of a chapbook, tentatively entitled Setting the Stage: The Eta Cassiopeia System<\/i>, by Lawrence Watt-Evans & Sheridan Simon, describing the two stars and four rocky planets of the star system where the two novels are set. (The system might also have a few gas giants; we never bothered about them, as they don’t appear in the stories.) Some of this will be drawn from Dr. Simon’s original letters describing the planets I’d commissioned him to create; the rest I’ll write. It will include a lot of background information that never found its way into the novels, and will also explain references in the text that may have been somewhat mysterious.<\/p>\n

This chapbook will only<\/i> be available to donors and to Dr. Simon’s heirs; it will not be offered for sale, and if and when the serial is complete, that’s it, there won’t be any more copies printed or distributed.<\/p>\n

Thanks for your support.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
