Black Dog?
Why do the other characters sometimes refer to Eslingen as Rathe's black dog? It's comes up once in Point of Knives, twice in Point of Dreams, and six times in Fairs Point. Many different characters say it, most but not all of them connected to law enforcement. I think of a black dog as an ill omen or as something like alcoholism that follows a ( Read more... ) -

Just a heads-up to everyone that sign-ups for Yuletide, the small fandom gift exchange, have now opened. Points and Death by Silver are both nominated this year.

Fair's Point - published!
Hope you don't mind me jumping in, but no one seems to be mentioning this anywhere, even mescott, and I know there's at least two of us who are really excited about it (thanks to jessebee for the heads-up in the first place). Fair's Point is published! It's available! It's apparently been dispatched from Amazon.com (US) on pre-order, and I've ordered it from ( Read more... ) -

I was just on Amazon and they're showing a new cover for Point of Dreams and advertising a release date of March 13, 2013 for the new paperback. Kindle edition now available, sans artwork.
I could be dreaming, but I don't think this was up before Christmas. -
Character nominations for Yuletide
I'm planning to nominate the Points series, Nicolas Rathe and Philip Eslingen as characters, for Yuletide. This gives me two available character slots; if anyone has preferences I'll happily add them. -
a PoD deleted scene while we wait for Point of Knives
Melissa Scott and Lisa Barnett used to have a website specifically for the Points books; one of the things it featured was a deleted scene from the beginning of Point of Dreams in which Philip accompanies Caiazzo to the theater to see The Drowned Island. The website, alas, has gone to the great server in the sky. But with Melissa Scott's permission ( Read more... ) -
