Hey, check this out! 11 Things You Never Knew About Audiobooks (plus the Orbit team meet a Doctor Who star!)


The Orbit team recently took a trip to watch Ann Leckie’s ANCILLARY MERCY being recorded as an audiobook by actor Adjoa Andoh (you might know her from Doctor Who). We went to the RNIB Talking Books studio in Camden, London. We were all ( Read more... )

Wanna come meet me? Maybe hear me read a bit, maybe ask me a question or two? Wanna buy a copy of Ancillary Mercy and have me sign it?

If you answered yes to any of those questions, consider coming to the University City Library at 7pm this evening.

Subterranean Books (not the publisher, the St. Louis bookstore) will have copies for sale, and if I ( Read more... )

So, over on Tumblr-where I mostly just do silly stuff, so you’re probably not missing much if you don’t follow me there, unless you’re into the silly stuff-over on Tumblr, as I was saying, there is this thing about cinnamon rolls.

It’s getting close! We’re headed into the weekend, and on Tuesday Ancillary Mercy will be officially released! Through the magic of the internet, ebook copies will appear on your readers, if you’ve pre-ordered the ebook version! Booksellers ought to have it out on the shelves-if yours doesn’t, ask if they have it in the back, that happened to me ( Read more... )

Someone asked me this yesterday, so I figured I’d post the link again: you all know about my pinboard of Ancillary fan art, right?

It’s one week until Ancillary Mercy officially hits shelves! If I remember correctly from last year, some places did put them out a few days early, and if you luck into a copy that way, by all means grab it!

But, you know, you could also pre-order it. If you pre-order an ebook, it will likely download as soon as the day arrives. Some places will ( Read more... )
