VCON 29
(October 2004)
UNBC takes note, on their homepage, of Throne Price being up
for awards (UNBC Homepage May 18, 2004).
Throne Price is
one of seven finalists for ForeWord
Magazine's SF Book of The Year Award !
Local News
Lynda was interviewed by cable 10 community TV in Prince George, early in
November 2003. Clips from the interview have been airing on and off during
the month. Some feature Throne
Price and the Okal Rel Universe, while
others deal with her role as producer of the UNBC-based e-journal Reflections
on Water.
Lynda appeared at Studio
Fair in Prince George, BC, on Friday 7th November 2003 as part of
"Book Nook", signing
(and selling) copies of Throne
Price
Mekan'stan
and Kath
are forthcoming from Windstorm
Creative in Summer 2004. Both novellas feature Amel's adventures,
and are set either in his courtesan youth or his Royal Envoy period in
the interval between Pretenders and Throne
Price.
Lynda hopes and expects to produce at least one short novel a year, with
Windstorm Creative, chronically the many stories about main characters
and supporting cast which do not fit in the main line series of the saga.
A dynamic spin-doctor team of namers (Brian,
Lynda,
Alison,
David,
Jennifer
were there the whole time as I recall, and Marie and Kim might have been
in and out of the huddle as well as a couple of friends met at the con)
intrepidly tackled the task of picking names for the Okal Rel Universe
"main line" novel series ... that people would not have to take
ORU 101 to understand.
 Edge
books (including Throne Price) in Coteau Books catalog
The wall sized poster of Throne Price at the Edge booth, at conversion,
was one nice surprise. Another was seeing Throne Price and other
Edge books in the Autumn 2003 edition of the Coteau
Books catalog from Fitzhenry
& Whiteside.
Edge publisher
Brian Hades is happy to be working with Coteau as distributors for
his growing line of Science Fiction and Fantasy novels.
 Circlet
Anthology
Lynda was surprised and pleased that Cecilia Tan decided
to include "Bride's Story" in her Best of Circlet Press
1992-2002 anthology, Erotic
Fantastic.
This story originally appeared in the ninties, and was
Amel's first appearance in print. The story is set during his courtesan
period. (This sale to Circlet pre-dated contracts with Edge and Windstorm.)

Throne
Price, is one of three finalists in the 2004
Benjamin Franklin Awards competition, in the category: Popular
Fiction.
