Now in the Free Library at Suvudu.com, Sheepfarmer’s Daughter, the first of the Paks books…accessible through this Del Rey site as well as through the Baen site. I think I mentioned it here before, but this is due to the gracious cooperation of both Baen Books and Del Rey Books. If you have friends you’ve been trying to convince to try out this story world, here’s an easy way for them to jump in the pond. (But…nobody has to read the whole Deed of Paksenarrion before diving into the new book.)
Six weeks to go…yes, I’m getting twitchy. I wish it would come out in time for ConDFW in February, but we’ll just have to suffer a few weeks more.

Yay! I noticed it in the free baen library, but hopefully I can get my friend, who I’ve been trying for months to get to read the Deed, to finally read it! Hopefully this can convince her that it won’t take an eon and a day to read. That’s her latest argument.

Just finished reading Legacy of Gird and Deed of Paks for the third time in anticipation of Oath of Fealty. Very exciting. I’d like to say, though, that while I love Paks and the Duke, now King, my favorite character is Master Oakhollow, the Kuakgan. I would love to see more information about him or Kuakgan in general either in a book or here on the blog or somewhere. In fact, I’d love to see you write a novel about a Kuakgan, who they are, how one becomes one, their history, where they came from, etc.

In book two of this group, you get some characters’ views of the Kuakkgani–not mine. I had planned to have more about them in the next group of books, and definitely planned a book that followed one…but the story grabbed me by the throat, as it had originally and said “Write this!”
I hope I can do a Kuakgan book someday, but I don’t know where this will take me next. Right now it’s diving headlong into very old stuff in the history of that world and its current consequences.

when can we expect to see the first three books with the new covers Baen showed a while back? will Surrender None and Liar’s Oath also get new cover treatments?

Guy, this is the sort of question that publishers can answer and writers can’t always. (Sometimes we get new covers or a new edition without even being told–I know about the cover art, but not the release dates.) I suggest you contact Baen for the release dates of the new versions–and even then stores will want to sell whatever they have on hand.
