*Sigh* So much for my hopes for another IV-V bridge novel. Though I suppose if it didn't feature the Big Three, there wouldn't be much point in its being set in that period anyway. Looking forward to it regardless. Just...try not do overdo the overlapping novel thing, okee-day?

I have no idea if it's really Watson, just a guess based on the writing style and the appearance of a certain character. If it is her, though, I'm glad to have her back!
Oh, and after reading the brilliant Wild Space, I've decided to adopt Bail's avatar. That's one character I now know I relate to!

If you're going to stop by at all Sue, please please please tell me that Blood Oath has disappeared from the catalog by mistake.

I don't know what catalog you're referring to but I'm sure it's just a mistake. It's still listed in Sue's future novel blog:

the Del Rey/Random House catalog. The book has been unlisted, which is usually a sign of a delay to beyond the cutoff date of the catalog (in today's case, September) or... I won't say the other thing. Because I don't want it to be the other thing.

"Thanks for making the distinction between believing something is "canon" and something is worthwhile. There's no yardstick for art or "literature", and most "literary" critics sneer down their noses at franchise fiction."
It doesn't have to be that way, though.
If any brand on the face of God's green Earth lends itself to real literature, SW does.

Amen! I couldn't agree more.

I agree with this. Leia was a miserable punk in it. It really left a BAD taste in my mouth,and Ferus' "love" of Leia was out of place for the way she treated him. There was no reason for him to feel that way. It's like he came out of his shell and then turned back into a loser again. I was bummed by it. Not only the ending, but Ferus' whole development.
And I thought Leia was a nice person, but I guess she was just another Imperial with an agenda. That how she comes across. She wasn't likable at ALL.

Well, it was the reappearance of a character Watson had dealt with much better in LOTJ that I was referring to. I don't mind that Leia still has some growing to do.

OK, I read the last of the jedi series, what is this HOSTAGE book you guys are referring to. I wasn't aware Ferus' story was continued anywhere.

Hi -- I did stop by. I also posted a new blog entry, updated and cleaned-up from the last one. The biggest thing you'll notice is that BLOOD OATH has been moved to December 2009. The manuscript hasn't been delivered yet -- it just got to be too late to make the deadline, so we moved it. I feel badly because the story, as you know, takes place before OUTCAST so we wanted it to come out as close to OUTCAST as possible... but it didn't happen.

Hey Sue, do you think will see the cover for OUTCAST this year or do we have to wait until 2009?
