I recently finished the first two Sentients of Orion novels and am very pleased with the style, points of view strategy, characters, plot and technology. I know there is an alternate universe out there where all this really happens! Thank you Marianne for exploring and discovering it for us!
I do have a question or two for you coming up. My casual knowledge is that spelling and some idioms gets adjusted depending on whether the market is Britain, America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand etc. The books I've purchased here in Texas at Barnes and Noble have the usual trivial non American spellings. So I presume these books were originally intended not for the U.S.
Perhaps I imagined it, but I could have sworn I saw Mirror Space on the shelves just a few days ago, along side a dozen copies of some of your other books. I came back to purchase Mirror Space but could not find it. I think a re-shelving occurred and perhaps they pulled some of your books.
Searches on the Internet show your book is out, but not available on Amazon or Barnes and Noble on-line. So I am wondering if publishers would deliberately pull books off the shelf here, if they decided they were going to introduce (with localized spellings) to the U.S. market a book already out in another country.
When will we see Mirror Space here in the U.S.? Or is there a place anyone knows of where I could order it on-line?
Thanks, and I hope Rast does get her own book. Until then, I suppose I will just have to read some of your earlier works!
