The Okal Rel Universe in evolution and in the world.

 
Edge announced the coming of Absolute X Press in its last newsletter. The first six books in the lineup belong to what I'm calling, this week, the ORU Traddodiad: that is, anthologies, novellas and reference works expanding the ORU legacy. Traddodiad is a very cool Welsh word meanind 'cultural transmission' in the sense of passing on tradition. It's a mouthful, of course. The other candidate in the works is ORU Emporium. Justyn Perry and I have been using the working title Okal Rel Universe Collection to distinguish this expandable, POD/e-book line from the finite, ten-novel Okal Rel Saga in trade paperback. "Collection" is too vague and misleading, though, since a single book could be called a "collection". Naming things is hard. Absolute X Press will include more than just the Traddodiad, the ORU books just happen to be the first in the pipe here. I am editor for the Traddodiad.

Justyn Perry is starting to roll out the completed covers for ORU books in the Absolute X Press line, which he and I have been referring to by the working series title of the "Okal Rel Universe Collection". This new series of works set in the universe of the Okal Rel Saga, will be available in e-book format later this summer and in Print-On-Demand format later. Edge will also carry the books in its catalog and carry print versions for sale at cons. I'll feature the other covers here, one by one.
