This is a three-day seminar I’m running along with several other bestselling authors which is designed to teach new and developing writers everything they need to know about commercial fiction publishing and the business aspects of being a professional author.
Superstars Writing Seminar
Pasadena, California
March 19-21, 2010
| August 5, 2010 | to | August 8, 2010 |
The 2010 Minicon for 1632 writers and fans will be held as part of NASFIC. Nasfic is the convention held in North America when the World Science Fiction convention (WorldCon) is held outside of North America. WorldCon 2010 is being held in Melbourne, Australia.
Eric Flint is the Guest of Honor for Reconstruction. Reconstruction is hosting NASFIC 2010, so it only makes sense for the 1632 folks to gather there. As always, as many as possible of the core writers for the series will be there. Please plan on coming.
NASFiC (Reconstruction)
August 5-8, 2010
Raleigh, NC

Well, that was an interesting experiment, but we’ve switched back to internal WP comments. We did enable threading. Thanks for your patience with us.

==========================================
We have moved the comments over to the cool, THREADED, comments system at INTENSE DEBATE, written by the same wonderful people who wrote wordpress, the platform this site runs on.
You do not HAVE to create a new login in order to enter comments, but you get a bunch of neat features at ID if you do. The new system includes open-id login, gravitars, threading, reply-by-email, rss feeds for individual posts, and a bunch more.
We hope you enjoy it.

Yes, I know that truely LOYAL minions would do this more than once every 18 months or so, but never-the-less, the bibliography page (linked from the home page in the right-hand-menu) is now current through November 2008, with dates for publications extending through Dec 2009.
Appearances are current for everything I know about in 2009 as well.
And if someone wants to fix the 2007 entries in the chronological bibliography, feel free to send it to me, and I’ll post it with credit!

Eric will be the Author Guest of Honor at MidSouthCon in Memphis, TN.
Also scheduled to appear are the Science Guest of Honor, Ben Bova, and
the Artist Guest of Honor, Bob Eggleton. Bob has done a number of cover
illustrations for Eric’s novels, including /Rats, Bats & Vats, The
Course of Empire, Pyramid Scheme, /and the anthology Eric edited with
Mike Resnick that’s coming out in March, /The Dragon Done It.
While Eric's still in the South Pacific, we'll point out that his latest column in the just-relased first issue of Jim Baen's Universe second year is about the relationship between drm-free ebooks and the opacity of the book market.
It starts:
In my last essay, I approached the question of so-called online piracy from what I called a "negative" standpoint—by which I meant that I was content with knocking down the arguments advanced in favor of DRM. In this essay, I want to turn the problem around and approach it from a positive standpoint, by examining the many ways in which a non-DRM approach to electronic publishing can help the situation of authors and publishers."
Read the rest of it (and the new issue of Universe) here. http://baens-universe.com/articles/salvos7
(The article is free, the rest of the magazine requires subscription to read more than the first half. You know the principle, "Hey Kid! Come'ere! Try this! The first-half's free!)

If you're a subscriber to Jim Baen's Universe, and you haven't been there in a while, you'll want to go check it out.
There have been major updates to the site, and most notably to the e-arc experience (no no longer requiring a separate login) and to the member-self-management system.
You really owe it to yourself to go check it out. http://baens-universe.com
If you're NOT a subscriber, why not? Go visit Universe and see what's what! The first half of every story is free, and the entirty of Mike Resnick's Hugo Award Nominated story is free! Go for it!
In other news, Eric and Lou leave today for their tour of New Zealand, Australia and Hawaii. Anyone who is in the area who isn't planning on being at the con in New Zealand is really missing out! The boss won't be back for several weeks. We've been told to try to stay out of trouble till then.
More when we know it

Hi, all
I just thought I'd let everybody know that Baen Books will be picking up the American alternate history series I started at Del Rey, with 1812: THE RIVERS OF WAR and 1824: THE ARKANSAS WAR. I just signed a contract for two new books in the series.
Eric
Loyal minion note: We don't yet know anything about the status of the first two novels except that 1824: The Arkansas War is scheduled for paperback release by Del Rey. The possibility of webscriptions availablity of TAW is open to discussion but unknown. More when we hear it.
