If you’ve paid attention to the progress bars on the right, you may have noticed that the projected goal for Echoes of Silence, the Halley novella, keeps getting revised as I update the word count. That’s because it’s turning out a lot longer and more detailed than I had anticipated. (I know, your hearts are BROKEN at the thought.)
We should have it in the bag some time this month, though, unless it decides to get a mind of its own and grow into novel status.
This is a new thing for me in both format and execution–it’s a novella in epistolary format, told from Halley’s perspective during Andrew’s long absence in ORDERS OF BATTLE and CENTERS OF GRAVITY, and I have a co-author this time around. I hope you’ll give it a spin once it’s finished because it fills in a lot of the events that happened off-camera while Andrew and the crew of NACS Washington were gallivanting about the dark system around the rogue planet somewhere in the Corvus constellation.
What has happened to the Paladium wars?
Hi fricken cool! Can’t wait. Frontlines: best series ever.
YES!!, this is the story I was wishing for you to write, even left a comment for it on the Scorpio giveaway Looking forward to read it.
Keenly anticipating!
I’m glad you are doing this. As I read both books I was like, what about Hailey? Is she still in and how did his disappearance affect her. I hope it comes out this year.
More galavanting please.
Love you stuff.
But what has become of the conclusion to Palladium Wars???
Still in the works at the same time! It’s taking a little longer because I am writing several things at the same time.
Is it the same timeline as lucky 13?
I wonder how the technology of the time of Halley & Andrew, et.al. impact how you think about an ‘epistolary novel.’ Does this turn into short text messages and then longer emails? Transcriptions of video recordings? Seems to me there’d be periods of nearly instantaneous responses (e.g. Earth to a ship in orbit, but during times when live video conferencing wasn’t available) and periods of “here’s a batch of messages queued up for transmission on the next starship”.
It would be nice to see a follow up to Centers Of Gravity. It’s been over two years.
More! MORE!
I’m sure you hear that a lot.
You COULD consider giving up sleep and writing 24/7… 😉
I cannot get enough of your writing. I have re-read Centers of Gravity three times now.
Personally I’m a fan of things getting out of control, so fingers crossed for a full novel!
Sounds really great! I wouldn’t mind for it to grow into a full novel and get a print edition either way =)
Wonderful. Can’t wait to read it. I’m reading the Palladium Wars right now and loving it sooo much!!!
Sounds excellent! Can’t wait to read it.
