New Penric book out: The Adventure of the Demonic Ox!

[thewayne]

It released either today or just recently, and is typical in length with the recent Penric and Desdemona books. Usual platforms, including Kindle and Apple stores.

VERY good story! I'm about 60% or so through it, Russet finished it already but she had more time to read today than I did. I'm quite enjoying it, looking forward to the ending.

I think this is something like #14 in the series.

Louise McMasters Bujold is "officially" retired as an author, and pops out one of these novellas every so often as the fancy strikes her. She did, IIRC, a trilogy of novels in the same world - The Curse of Chalion - which my wife informs me is about a hundred years or so later.

She's an excellent writer. Her sci fi series, the Vorgosigan saga, has a similar length and I think has won Hugo awards. They're really demonstrative of people stories who happen to be in space. I re-read the entire series last year. I highly recommend them, IMO there's not a clunker in the entire series.

That's my idea of retirement.
Do things you like when you feel like it. :)

Immediately after my dad retired, he was crazy busy doing plumbing repairs for people from his church.  That did slow down, and he kept busy with his turning wood bowls on his lathe.
