The BSC Book Tournament continues. Cold Magic is up against Daniel Fox's excellent Jade Man's Skin in Round 3. Go vote for either book -- honestly, we need to pump up these votes numbers, because Round 4 will be tough for whichever book moves on since sf writer Jeff Somers has a major campaign going if you look at the total number of votes his novel has received in the other game of our bracket.
By the way, I really will start posting again soon.
I'm still working (slowly) on the Rory short. I've begin a sort of stream of consciousness outline for Cold Steel, which will be completely useless except insofar as it allows me to consider all the consequences and ramifications of book two as I sort out how to plunge into book three.
Let me ask a question of you all:
If you had read two volumes of a trilogy written in first person, by the same character, how startling would it be for you, as a reader, to pick up book three to find the first chapter (ETA: not the entire book) written in third person from the point of view of a different character (one you already know, I hasten to add)? Would it put you off? Intrigue you? Confuse you? Excite you?
This is not a leading question. I'm curious.
