Contract for Slip Point

Now that I have the countersigned contract in hand, I can proudly announce that Carina Press has accepted Slip Point and that it's slated to be published on November 7th of this year.

Now I can relax about having the words "science fiction" up there in my website header.

It'll be interesting getting into the proper head space for edits. My three current projects are all high fantasy, while Slip Point is space opera. I remember having to learn a sort of exuberance while writing it, a sense of to-hell-with-physics executed with enough gusto to cover up the ridiculous bits — or to celebrate them. My fantasy stories pretend to have more dignity.

But I didn't write Slip Point for the plot or for the world-building. I wrote this because I found unexpectedly appealing the boy and the girl who met on a hilltop while starship-gazing.
