GREAT Great great news for our little PodCastle family: our associate editor (and chief editor of GigaNotoSaurus)
Ann Leckie has just gotten a THREE BOOK DEAL WITH ORBIT!!!
THREE BOOKS, PEOPLE!
The deal is for her space opera novel
Ancillary Justice (formerly titled
Justice of Toren), which both Anna and I got to read, and suffice it to say we think it pretty much kicks ass. No official release date for it yet, but I asked Ann's permission to post the good news here, and she gave her blessing. And we're all pretty-well excited about this. (Ann thinks she is more excited than we are, and while I have considered demanding scientific evidence to back that up, I haven't yet followed through with it. Emphasis on the "yet".)
Congrats, again, Ann! Looking forward to reading it all over
(Now somebody ask her when she's writing her Marsh Gods-esque fantasy novels!)
