Meet The New Boss

[merlinscribe]

My new editor has been ignoring me. Sound familiar? So anyway, Misty and I have decided just to go straight ahead and finish the book and hand it over. I expect to turn it in by the end of summer, if all goes well on this end. Maybe she'll be thrilled and delighted and put it immediately into production. I wouldn't hold my breath, though.

Wish the news was better.



Meanwhile, there's a new/old deleted scene from TO LIGHT A CANDLE over at the Library:

This is getting silly

[(Anonymous)]

Seriously, what is going on with this publishing house?

You and Lackey haven't been blackballed for some reason have you?

I haven't been blackballed because I am an unimportant hack (quoth one of my editors) and I don't do much social media and/or the con circuit (granted, nobody has been doing much with cons since, oh, 2014? 2017? something like that) so I am nearly invisible. So that's me.

As for Herself, the Mother of Dragons, you will all have heard about the Nebula Weekend thing. It's the latest in a series of attempts to throw mud on a woman who has done nothing all her life but write wonderful books that have been beloved by generations of writers, and has done so much charity work in her "spare" time that I would exhaust myself listing it.

THAT BEING SAID...

Tor's corporate culture is, and has been for some time, undergoing a quite rigorous change, from "by fen for fen hey Mom we're making a living at this" to "this company is going to make money". We're seeing the fallout from that now. I really can't say any more than that.

How unbelievably rude and unprofessional! I find your work to be very inspired, especially with this series of books.
