I am hunkered down here in Chateau Riverside, listening to rough mixes of each chapter of THE PRIVILEGE OF THE SWORD (TPOTS) audiobook as they come in from SueMedia, as Sue & David & I prepare the audiobook for release. (They're on Long Island, I'm on Manhattan's Upper West Side . . . and YouSendIt is our new best friend!) We are fussing over every ( Read more... )

You know that Nate's got a lot of the music up on his website (which I can't link to at the moment, since I'm supposed to be working)? It's absolutely gorgeous. I am so looking forward to this!

ETA: I love what Tom Canty does with fabrics. I could reach right out and touch that silk.

I am awaiting this audiobook with eager anticipation. I taught TPOTS in a class called "Female Voices in Historical Narratives" (Rutgers Online SC&I) even though it is fantastical history, and my graduate students, most of whom had never read anything like it before, adored it.

Oh. My. I thrill to hear that, because of course it is meant to be a good psychological look at what pre-20c women's lives were like - in fact, at one point while writing it I wailed, "No one's going to buy this! It's the Great Feminist Novel - for 1830!"

It's been almost *chilling* how many young women come up to me to say how relevant it is to their lives.

I'd love to know more about what your students thought - any way to see some of that without breaking professional confidence?

Oooo, lovely. I am going to buy this so quickly when it is released! I just reread TPOTS.
