Now the morning after: Bujold reading at Dreamhaven tomorrow reminder
Sunday morning report: I indeed had great fun reading at Dreamhaven last night. We filled every chair. Some folks flew in from as far away as Iowa and Missouri! They gave me flowers, like an ice skater! (Happily no ice out today though.) And all their attention, and good questions.
I read the first 3 scenes of "Penric and the Bandit", which don't exactly end on a cliffhanger, but with this crowd I don't think that mattered. (The next scene would have, but I wanted to leave time for Q&A and, of course, buying books.)
Note for those who missed it, you can get my books signed through mail order from Dreamhaven, by arrangement, including some they don't have in stock but I do. (Some, like the "Penric's Demon" hc from Subterranean, and the first Sharing Knife hc, Beguilement, no one has, alas.) (Note you can still get the first Penric story on paper in the Baen hardcover omnibus Penric's Progress, plus the next 2 novellas.) The trickier titles will take more lead time. But it's worth asking about others.
The e-version of "Penric and the Bandit" should go up this coming week sometime. The Blackstone Audiobook version will follow as soon as they can get it recorded -- we just confirmed the contract a few days ago. Subterranean Press is still working on "Demon Daughter", projected pub date January 2025.
If anyone had a question they didn't get answered last night, I direct you to my "Ask the Author" column here on Goodreads:

(I meant to mention last night, I did do a home Covid test on myself yesterday, negative as I expected. I was bemused to find I could pick one up right off the shelf at my nearest grocery store pharmacy department.)

Reminder post for my reading, Q&A, and signing at Dreamhaven Books & Comics in Minneapolis on Saturday evening (tomorrow as I post this) at 6:30 PM.

I will be reading the first few scenes from the upcoming Pen & Des e-novella "Penric and the Bandit". As a rule I prefer to read from unpublished stories; it's been a while since the timing aligned to do so. Should be fun.

Speaking of in-person events, is there any chance you might be attending Minicon next year?

That URL is truncated. DreamHaven's web server will helpfully expand it to the URL of the February 3, 2016 event...

Time travelers' link replaced with a better one, above.
Thanks for the heads-up!

Hope the reading went well and was enjoyed by all who were lucky enough to be able to attend. I was at my great niece's 2nd birthday party, but am eagerly awaiting next week.
It's my birthday today, and the first thing I did this morning was look for the new Penric novella as a birthday treat! (It will be a treat whenever it drops, but I've decided to celebrate turning 60 by reading most of the day.)

I don't know whether this is a test posting or the actual on-sale date, but the rest of my day is sorted. I'm off to read. Thank you.

As soon as a couple more vendors get theirs up -- which can vary randomly from an hour to a week -- I'll make a proper announcing blog post with links.
Enjoy!

I was traveling when the list to the reading was posted, and unable to listen/watch at the time. But now I have, and enjoyed it a lot. Many thanks to the fan who made the recording and to Lois and the book store for allowing it. AND, of course, the most thanks to Lois for creating Penric and Desdemona and sharing their adventures with us.
