Wonderful to hear! Waiting for CJC books is one of my favourite pastimes, leading to my most favourite, reading them. :lol: I was wondering how far the story would go this time, as I seem to remember from the last Shejidan forum site that AE made "discoveries" that tied in with another famous series of hers. (don't want to say more to protect innocent, unspoilered ears). Skater-ji, no, I wasn't associated with Shon'ai, 'tho I wish I was. I was thrilled enough to discover this particular association years back. Regarding the publication date of C2, one seems to recall herself saying in her blog that it was roughly a year for a manuscript to go thru the publishing mill's various layers. :Arrgh: I want it, and I want it soon.

That is truly exciting! Sk8er, I wonder when she finished Cyteen -- the original -- whether she knew she had written a book that was greater than her usual excellent ones? And so how does she feel about this one? Is she satisfied?

Re: Anyone seen anything in Locus?
Nothing about Cyteen in the September Locus and it has the list of Forthcoming Books Through June 2008. The only Cherryh books mentioned are Deliverer in Feb. '08 and Alliance Space in March '08 (listed as an omnibus, but doesn't say which bokks)

Re: Anything (anything at all) in Locus?
This issue of Locus has the 2007 Survey Results and I'm mentioned in the Secondary Occupation catagory as "our old friend the Little League scorekeeper"

Re: titles for 2 and 3
If Cyteen has Ari II as a teen I have always thought of #2 as Cytwenty and then, of course, #3 would be Cythirtysomething.

Amazon lists a new book for preorder only called "Alliance Space" coming out in March 2008.

I suspect this is not the new Cyteen book (seems too short a time from finishing manuscript to publication what with editor's changes, galleys, etc. plus Cyteen is Union).

But I thought I'd check here anyway.

If it's not Cyteen 2, does anyone know what it IS about?

Thanks.

Camilla-ji, not even :cherryh: Herself knows what Alliance Space will contain. But, it most certainly isn't Cyteen 2.


I forgot to mention yesterday :HB: (although it will be visible on Herself's "Progress Report", once updated) that Cyteen 2's word count is massive: over 200,000. Longer even than Cyteen 1. Such a long book would have ordinarily been split into 2 volumes, but Cyteen 2 was "easier to write long rather than split into 2 shorter volumes", according to Her Janeness.

Jane also confirmed how very hard Carolyn has been working to get it finished -- which is no surprise to anyone who follows aforementioned "Progress Report".

Cyteen 2 is finished --- including editing -- & was mailed to the publisher yesterday.

Publication date? Unknown. :cherryh: says something to the effect that she has her hands full with simply writing & that if she had to worry about where things were in the publishing que, she would go cRaZy. :lol:

Because Herself's Progress Report is still down, & to reply to a question in another thread:

Herself says the final word count for both Cyteen 1 & 2 is ~230,000. :t
