Is LM Bujold going self-pub for her backlist?

[Little.Egret]

And going back to Baen, one of Lois Bujold's publishers

Aha. My present from UPS today was a box of my author's copies of the upcoming Baen reprint of Shards of Honor, due to hit stores November 3rd, straight from the printer. A slim but very clean trade paperback.

They forgot to drop another text block on the lower left corner.

And back to Lois "wants is to have her reprinted books recognised".

Next up is Cetaganda

The Great Key.

I just wish McMaster Bujold had nice covers for her books... The ones in post #3 aren't much better than her other, very cringeworthy covers...

The Great Key.

The great key against a map of the wormhole nexus?
Very nice, especially given the underlying plot.
I wish she would do another Cetaganda story. Maybe featuring Miles' kids.

And Borders of Infinity (Three Novellas with the Miles in Hospital linking story)

And now Komarr

"Deceptively simple"

And Shards of Honor

https://www.goodreads.com/author_blo...hards-of-honor

'It took several passes to come up with this one -- the first three not-there-yet style-mock-ups, plus another this 4th series. Saw this one, laughed, and thought "I have to have this." I am not at all sure how Ron came up with it -- it was a surprise to me. I have no idea what potential readers will make of it, but it certainly sums up something essential about the relationship between the two main characters at one glance. "The outward and visible form of an inward and invisible grace", to paraphrase.'

[Little.Egret]

And The Warrior's Apprentice

"The figure, I think, is that six-foot-tall Miles that lurks in his head and ambushes him from time to time. The motion is all Miles."

[Little.Egret]

and Diplomatic Immunity

'I think of this as "The Creepy Babies Cover".

So very apropos to the book -- almost a spoiler -- although it's also the one I'm most uncertain about in terms of customer response. '

It is less alarming at a smaller magnification. Which is mostly how it will appear, on the vendor sites.


(I have added the very busy Baen cover.)

That does seem like one of the dominant criteria for the new covers...
Might start a trend of thumbnail-focused designs.

Indeed and here is Barrayar on Amazon ahead of Lois's posts

This one doesn't work for me. 'Warrior's Apprentice' is such a generic name I want something more specific to let browsers know this is Space Opera not Fantasy or Historical or ... just about any genre. Especially since its a gateway novel.

I have a fish that's been sitting on the dinner table for three weeks. Are those old covers that bad?

She doesn't own the rights to the covers, so needs new ones.

See up thread.

The idea is that the cover art will tell readers it's part of a series AND SF.
