Breaking news: Baen has released an e-arc of the new fantasy novel from Sharon Lee and Steve Miller which can be purchased on Baen’s website. Here’s a direct link: http://www.webscription.net/p-750-duainfey-arc.aspx
This is not a Liaden book but the first of a two-book story arc in a new fantasy setting.
Rebecca Beauvelley is a ruined woman.
In a moment of girlish folly, she allowed a high-flying young man to take her up in his phaeton, not realizing that he was drunk. When he dropped the ribbons, she recovered them, but could not avoid disaster.
The young man was killed. Rebecca survived, crippled, and with a reputation in tatters.
Against all expectation, her father has found someone who will marry her. Rebecca’s life seems set, and she resigned to it. Then, Altimere of the Elder Fey enters her life—and everything changes.
To be published in hardcover in September 2008 but you can buy the e-arc right now…..
Et in arcaedia, ego. 
Oh good, I’m glad someone picked that up!
Not about the book per se, but after reading lots of agent blogs discussing queries and pitches and blurbs, I wanted to pipe up to compliment whoever wrote the description above. “Phaeton” and “dropped the ribbons” and “tatters” are just such great word choices, the world is sketched for us in a really short space.
Friends don’t let friends drive drunk… in their phaetons.
Credit will have to go to Baen for that because my pitch was entirely different.
does that mean there’s no news on Fledgeling? I sent in my payment for that a while back 😉
