Of course, I won't be able to read it until I'm back, but still...
Carey Switches Kushiel Heroes
"A very busy SF author Jacqueline Carey—whose fourth Kushiel book, Kushiel's Scion, comes out June 12—told SCI FI Wire that this book begins a new trilogy featuring the character Imriel as narrator. He takes over for Phèdre, the heroine from the first three books. "For me, to keep the writing fresh and compelling in an ongoing series, characters need to grow and develop over time, and their stories need to explore different themes," Carey said in an e-mail interview. "I love Phèdre, ... but the dramatic arc of her story was finished at the end of Kushiel's Avatar, while Imriel's was just beginning."
And thankfully, a writer that seems to know when to leave characters at rest. NotRobert Jordanthat I'm Anne Rice naming any Laurel K. Hamilton names, mind you.....

People keep pushing Lois McMaster Bujold to write more Miles Vorkosigan books. She has taken a long break to let him have a peaceful life for a few years anyway... and written other books instead. She says, the next obvious "worst thing" to do to him is the death of his father. I have some really grimmer ideas in mind of course,including a brain transplant into the obvious clone body and the horrifying personal and legal implications... but I'm a morbid little weasel sometimes.
