Time to re-read Titanium Noir in preparation !!

I’ll take what I can get! 😜

Oooooohhhh! I’m officially excited! Slippery Jim was one of the gateway series into my SF journey as a kid!!!

I’m not sure you’re allowed to state this without giving the method!!!

Yup. We have long memories and will never forget the betrayal of what was supposed to be our best friend. It’s a generational thing now.

So, question for the Americans… are you proud of this?…

Can I humbly suggest “anything with power armour!” Because I’m a sucker for that stuff and it’s so rarely done well… CJ Cheryh did an awesome job! And you’d do it the honour it deserves I reckon!

I’m hoping that my preorder arrives a few days before the official publish day as they normally do!

Just a shame that the Trumpers have taken the concept as a playbook… still one of their best albums imho!

C J Cherryh

Her books were the first where I experienced the palpable fear of being abandoned with no resources amongst people that want you dead when they discover who you are. Simply amazing. And simply stunning power armour as well!

Yep. Each of them with the same blue “best dating site” link or an onlyfans page link. Tedious in the extreme.

Excellent! Physical books I always try and get from an Indy or bookshop.org but always feel guilty about buying Kindle versions..glad I don’t have to (bar the guilt of giving Bezos yet more money…!)

All OS’s suck in their own individual ways. Horses for courses.

Question for you! Do you, as a writer, have a *financial* preference for where we buy our books? Do you get a better return on an ebook as opposed to physical? And are the likes of Kobo better than Amazon on the ebook side?..

Look, when you guys post to say that something’s finished, or in the works, or got a publisher, they provide the few high points in my days of meetings dealing with the products of the Peter principal!

Post Away!!!!

I’m old enough to remember the times before package managers… I recall the times of Dependency Hell.. So… you want to install a package? Well, I need this one… which needs these two… (cue combinatorial explosion until heat death of universe)
