My wife is soooo looking forward to Cape Grace. I think you have another serious convert.

Cape Grace is still on my list of “books to write.”

I couldn’t do it in NaNoWriMo because I needed a new project and Cape Grace was my failed project from last year.

I should put it on a schedule tho .. Maybe Summer 2010

Thanks for the updates on the solarclipper and durandus sites including the coming soon Ravenwood. The anticipation kills me but the joy of each delivery makes it all worth while. What happened to Cape Grace? It seems to have dropped off the radar 10 months ago and is not on the durandus site but still has its own book link on the solarclipper site but is not shown on the durandus site.

Nate,

We all miss listening to your new stuff, but Jeffery is right, we’ll be here when the day job calms down. In the meantime, I’m making my day job more interesting by listening to the entire story again. I’ve lost track, but I think this is either the 7th or 8th time.

Thanks, Jeff. Google alerts showed me the entry even before I got to the notice of this comment.

I left you a comment over at your site, too.

Hi Nathan,

Keep up the good work – fighting for your ‘Day Job’ as you put it. What you are doing is worthwhile. Your fans will still be here when things work out to give you more time to write again. All the best.

Jeff

P.S. The latest entry on my blog is about ‘Quarter Share’ specifically and your other books generally. The post is titled ‘You Can’t Judge A Book By It’s Blurb.’

I can’t wait to enjoy Captain’s Share!

I can’t wait to enjoy Cape Grace!

Whatever you choose to write and share with us, it will be WELL worth the wait. Best of luck with the funding, and with keeping your paycheck. /crossing fingers, toes, and eyes/

Take care!

Thanks, Tor.

Mike, you’re correct. Sarah Krugg is Otto’s daughter and the key element in Cape Grace is reconciling what we know about Otto and what Sarah said. How *is* it possible that the youth we met in South Coast could grow to become the man we see through Sarah’s eyes in Half Share?

Dun, dun, DAAAAH.

Stay tuned for the next exciting installment!

I am going through the whole series for my third time, and even at that, sections still bring a tear to my eye. Very good writing, very interesting and immersive story.

My only complaint/bad reaction has to do with Sarah Kruge. If I am understanding the timelines correctly, Sarah is to be the daughter, or at most the grand-daughter of Otto. From the social placement the Shaman has within the community, and from the overall characterizations within the Southcoast story, I cannot imagine anyone in that group of known characters to have allowed something like what is implied to ever happen to Sarah.

I like the idea that there is a link to the Shaman, and the Welkies, all the way back to Quartershare. But, this one plot point is very grating and difficult for me to reconcile.

I suspect (and hope) that Cape Grace will provide me with an explanation on how this could ever be.
