new short Bujold interview at 8LW
I have a new short interview up today at the blogsite Eight Ladies Writing, in honor of the launch of the new Penric & Desdemona novella "Penric's Fox".

We did this a couple of weeks ago, but delayed posting till after the e-publication of the novella earlier this week. (Good heavens, that was only Tuesday -- seems longer ago already, but that's how time speeds on the internet.) This turns out to be doubly timely, in view of yesterday's happy news, as I also talk a bit about about wrangling series structures.
Also to note, the only PR push this novella is going to get is on this blog and these couple of by-chance recent interviews, so any mention folks may be moved to make about it out and around the net and elsewhere would be great. Amazon always gets plenty of reviews, and indeed by the time any prospective readers have made their way to the vendor sites the work is already done, so putting out the word in other places is more important.
Ta, L.

I posted word about the FOX on Nalini Singh's weblog where she asks every Friday what you're reading and enjoying. Was happy to be able to mention and recommend PENRIC'S FOX and even had a response from one of the other readers who went out immediately and bought it. A sale here, a sale there....Anne in Virginia

Love the fact that you were inspired in part by a fox family in your yard. We have a pair of grey fox that visit our compost heap, but haven't seen any babies. But, a more regular visiting family is a mama raccoon with three babies.
If you ever find that map, add me to the list of those who would like to see it.

But, a more regular visiting family is a mama raccoon with three babies."The place I lived previously, we had a couple single red foxes that would pass through the back yard or wander up the road. There were a lot of cottontails, so that was probably why. While I lived in Maine, there were coyotes who'd 'sing' in the middle of the night... probably because they wanted the chickens. Nothing like an after midnight coyote song to send a shiver through your skin. ^^;
Will it be available for OverDrive eventually? I have purchased the audio version of all four of the others (Penric's Demon, Penric & the Shaman, Penric's Mission, Mira's Last Dance) for the Ohio Digital Library consortium and they are very popular, but I haven't been able to order the ebook versions. And - sincere congratulations on winning the Hugo for Best Series! I was so happy to see the notice.

We are looking into Overdrive, but the process is slow and remarkably opaque. I suspect they have two queues, one for large publishers and one to filter the huge seething slushpile of indie works, and we may be in the wrong one, but we'll see.

So excited for a new Penric story! Will it be released as an audiobook too?
