Great snippet! Right now I’d settle for some summery weather that lasts more than a couple of days, let alone asking for one that lasted a couple of years.

Are you in one of the locations where summer failed to install properly?

Have you tried restarting? 😉

Ha, thank you! Lacking their actual names, Kellen decided a bit of shorthand couldn’t hurt.

Thanks for commenting!

That’s always been fascinating to me, because of the ties most of our society has, even indirectly, to the old solstice/equinox/full moon cycles. Thanks for commenting!

Oh, sorry to hear you’re having surgery, but I’m glad we’ll be able to help you stay entertained afterward.

Crashing in a snow bank? Wow what bad luck!
Reesa

Well, to be fair, most of the planet is a snow bank, so there wasn’t really much choice. 😉

Thanks for reading and commenting!

And if those are tilt-based seasons, the winter days will be pretty short.

Oo, I already have The Slipstream Con in my ereader! I haven’t gotten to it yet, sorry. It sounds so good. Thanks for participating in the hop.

I know the blog hop is over, but I wanted to come around and comment on all my fellow hoppers’ posts. I couldn’t get to a computer while the hop was live.

The Ylendrian Empire sounds very interesting. I love all the thought put into it. And ‘The Slipstream Con’ sounds great! I would love to read more!
Reesa

Thanks, Kimber. We appreciate you stopping by!
Reesa

Exactly! Thankfully, it’s less tilt-based, and more orbital, otherwise I don’t tnink Noska would have been colonized at all.

Then again, the Empire never let a little thing like discomforrt stop them from pillaging natural resources.
Reesa

No need to apologize, everyone has more books than reading time, and we appreciate you buying the book! We hope you enjoy it when you get to it. 🙂

Thanks for commenting!
Reesa

Thanks, Cheryl! One of my favourite parts of writing a vast, sprawling Empire is that I can play with cultures and still try to weave them all into the fabric of a shared society.

One of the protagonists in our next book, Peripheral People is from a planet once colonized and settled by Imperial citizens, who broke away from the Empire and established a strict isolationist culture. We had loads of fun messing with Corwin 😉

Thanks for dropping by!

Well, Noska is RIGHT up your alley, in that case, and two of the main characters were brn and raised there. 😉

It’s never too late for a free read, right? Thanks for popping through!
Reesa
June 27th, 2012 at 22:34

Thanks so much for stopping by, Kyndra. If you’re interested in a bit more Slipstream, you can find another excerpt and some (slightly spoilery, but it’s warned for) flash fiction in the “Free Reads” section.

Thanks again!
