Hi Angela — You are this week’s book winner. Would you like:
A paperback copy of The Silver Ship and the Sea
A paperback copy of Reading the Wind (the second book in the series) or
an Advanced Review Copy of Wings of Creation (the third book in the series).

Let me know! I’ll also need an address to send it to. If you can send that to me at brenda-cooper@sff.net I can get it in the mail Monday.

Thanks!

Thanks Jim. I don’t have Chrome, but I do use Firefox as my primary browser and it works for me so that is a conundrum. I appreciate the comment and will try to track it down.

And I’ll drop you in the drawing for week 2.

Hi Terry,

Thanks for your comment. I’m really glad you liked “In Their Garden” – I wrote after I heard a talk from some very passionate people who run a botanical garden.

I love websites that extend the experience of the standard media. TV shows are mostly what I’ve seen, such as Nova and their “sidebar” type stories, but also more and more magazine stories refer to web sites for video, etc.

I’m currently getting 404 errors for silvershipcoversmall.jpg and wingsofcreationcoversmall.jpg. Maybe it has something to do with how my browser is trying to resolve the address? http://www.thefiveworlds.com/five-worlds/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/wingsofcreationcoversmall.jpg.jpg

Hi Brenda,
I came here to check out the site after reading In Their Garden in Asimov’s. I’m a botanist and really liked the nature aspect of the tale. I’ll be sure to seek out more of your work. P.S. I agree with Angela, the new cover is very striking.

Hi Angela — I hope so. I don’t have an art budget, and I’m not quite sure what I can do about that for a few months. The website designer (Jeremy Tolbert) made the planets, and the other art is all clipped off of the cover artist’s work (Steven Martineire). I can write many bits, but I can’t draw very well. You would laugh if I put up my own drawings of paw cats.

That’s a common comment thought, people want more art!

And … you are in the drawing.

The cover is great. I read about the paw cats on the Academy site. Are pictures going to be added later?
