News About Diving Stories
First, Asimov’s has just published “Becalmed,” which is set in the Diving Universe. The story involves a character who appears for about a chapter in the upcoming City of Ruins from Pyr. But I had to figure out what her backstory was, so I wrote this piece. I suspect there will be even more backstory to come (which will become front story) as I work out What Happens Next. Anyway, for an excerpt of the story, go here. You can also order copies from Kindle or Barnes & Noble, or from the Asimov’s site directly. This is the only place the story will be available for the next year or more, so get your copy now!
The second piece of Diving news is that The Spires of Denon, a story set in the Diving Universe, has a new cover in anticipation of its stand-alone print publication. The print edition isn’t available yet, but you can download the electronic edition on Kindle, Barnes & Noble, Smashwords, and in other e-bookstores. And here’s the really cool cover:
Finally, to keep up on Diving news (and to see the nifty banner ad that Pyr designed), go to the Diving website, divingintothewreck.com I tend to post Diving news there first.
I have to admit that it is true, we can’t – or rather, we shouldn’t – judge another culture as long as we don’t understand it. Thank you, ‘Becalmed’ was another great addition to the ever-growing Diving Universe… and the next novel is already written, we are spoiled 🙂
Thanks, Elizabeth. I’m just so pleased that you’re enjoying the various stories.
Yay!! A new Diving Universe story… still waiting for this issue of Asimov’s SF to hit the fictionwise web site!! And impatiently waiting for City of Ruins 🙂
It’s coming! Soon. And I’m just finishing Boneyards, which is #3.
