Uuuuuu exciting! Banana

Does the rumor whisper anything about hawt Giants featured in either piece of prose? Wink

Pretty sure there weren't any hawt Giants in the part we heard at WFC. There were some funny bits, though. Smile

Didn't SRD call one of them a novelette? Still two of those (at under 20,000 words each) wouldn't make up a book. I'm happy to see two novellas rather than a book of short stories as I am more likely to reread them. I almost never go back over the short stories.

The King's Justice is already available for pre-order from Amazon.com. It shows a publication date of October 13, 2015. No picture yet.

I wonder if there is any advantage to the author if you pre-order a title.

Other than getting an sense of how many need to be printed, I don't know.

I seem to recall SRD saying something about pre-orders helping rankings on best seller lists the first week of release?

No hints as to the content of either or the new novellas?

Apparently, aliantha heard SRD read a portion at WFC last fall. Maybe she can share what she recalls...other than there was humor and no hawt Giants.

Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.

Romeo was there, too.... Wink

From what I recall, the main character was a woman who had (I think -- it's been some months...) inherited her father's kingdom, and was now proposing marriage to the leaders of neighboring kingdoms in turn. I can't recall now whether her strategy was meant to stir up trouble or suss out who would support her against which other kingdom. Maybe both. But it was an entertaining scene. Very Happy

Interesting. My first thought in terms of similarity was Daughter or Regals.

Awesome, thanks!

I may have a new favorite Augur. It's been Patera Silk since The Book of the Long Sun.
