It's here, it's here! (Points of Departure)

[pameladean]

Points of Departure, Pat Wrede's and my Liavek collection, comprising all of our original Liavek stories plus a new one from Pat and a new collaboration from both of us, is officially out! Or, as the kids apparently say these days, Live for Sale! If you have already pre-ordered, you should be seeing your book soon. If you haven't but want the book, here's the link to the Diversion Books page, which in turn contains links to other retailers:

If you want a paper book rather than an e-book, both Barnes and Noble and Amazon can oblige you with one.

I am seriously impressed and deeply pleased with Diversion Books, which did a stupendous job at every stage.

ETA: In comments, Brooks says that his local independent bookstore is able to order it for him, so if you prefer to support local independent stores, ask them about it.

This is my first publication since 2008, which should give me pause for serious reflection; but, on beginning to reflect, I think I'll go clean the bathroom instead.

Oooooh.

I was reminded that I hadn't looked at your LiveJournal—I am out of the habit of logging in, really, so I haven't looked at anyone's, but I try to remember to cruise by the journals of authors who AFAIK have no other online presence—by a post on tumblr (http://muspec.tumblr.com/post/126026500578). (I instinctively thought "But Lattimore is a terrible plodder!" despite never having actually read his translation.)

Anyway I read this post and started gasping with delight. Congratulations and also, I am so pleased to hear that Going North is in a position to move forward.

Glad you stopped by and got the news! I have the same problem with DreamWidth. Lots of people I like are there and only there, but I'm terrible at regular checking.

I'm also on Twitter, rather fumblingly -- @pamelacdean.

In other Liavek news, Will and Emma are releasing clutches of the other original Liavek stories as ebooks; here's the information:

Your reaction to the tumblr post made me laugh and laugh. I've never actually seen that edition; I had a trade paperback with some kind of stylized Greek vase on it, I think. It's around here somewhere.

Lattimore is great when you have the rhythm of the Greek firmly in your head, as when you are using the Lattimore as a crib for impossible passages. But just to read in English, eeehhh, not so much.
