new book

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.

Edward Aubry Fantastic!


message 16: by Andrew (new)

Andrew Forber Excellent news! I'm in the middle of re-reading Brothers in Arms, which was my introduction to that universe. It has all of those references to the Komarr Revolt that the series has otherwise skipped over. That whole time between Miles' birth and Warrior's Apprentice seems like it would be a target-rich environment for a new book. And if that's not when the new one is set... that's OK too.

Brava!
