TYPO: Closed Circle has a policy of creating a new file for all purchasers when there is a “significant” typo, and there was, in Deliberations. I have e-mailed all of you who purchased Deliberations before the fix, giving you a link to request a new (correct) download. Because it has 8 or so people in each addy and because it contains a link, certain spam blockers may prevent your getting that e-mail. IF YOU BOUGHT DELIBERATIONS, check your spam filter. You should be getting a letter from me any minute now. I personally apologize. Now and again we glitch. But we try to fix it fast. I fixed a few other things just because I could, but the significant one is Tabini’s age when his father died: he was 14.
ANNNNNNNNNNNND our software screwed up bigtime and didn’t give anybody any links. WRITE to me (cj@cherryh.com) and I will get you a new link, personally. It is no trouble. A writer wants the file to be ACCURATE. Sigh. And we have worked on this one file from 9Am until now, at 6PM, to try to get this thing right. It takes that long to produce files—and now the demned re-download program spits out gibberish.
For me to give you that re-download personally is two buttonpushes if you will email me that you are ready to receive it.
IF YOUR ORIGINAL LINK IS LESS THAN 48 hours old you can re-use it to trigger a new download, which should now be correct! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
Oh yes, thank you for reminding me, kokipy! Please tell Jane her cover is lovely in colour. I looked at it with the Firefox epub reader. And that flowing font is so evocative of the elegance I associate with the atevi. I forgot to mention that in my email.
Thank you for the downloads, I’ve got Deliberations, Yvgenie (I’ve gotten started on that one), Netwalkers Partners, and I haven’t had any difficulties with them. There are some anomalies that are peculiar to my eReader (a Sony), but it’s nothing to prevent me from reading them.
I was glad for the prequel, something to think about after having read Intruder, because there are statements in the novel that relate to the short story, and are explained a little more in the short story. Plus, you didn’t have to go through the hassles of getting it published in print through a major house, and the control of the story remained in your hands. That’s a good thing!
Can’t wait for Protector, but Jane knows I’m also itching for another Morgaine (published via CC?)
