[LMB] Snerk -- (chat) Galleys yay!

[Lois McMaster Bujold]

OK...


    One snerk as per request.  A snerk, for those who tuned in late, is 
Baen's Bar slang for a sample of prose from an unpublished work.  
Although style points are awarded for being as fiendish in selection as 
possible -- as the writer who posted all the punctuation of his latest 
chapter -- it's not required.  Be it noted, it's still four months 
(short or long) till this thing hits bookstore shelves.  So this is a 
little premature, but not much.

    Those who are highly spoiler-sensitive may now avert their eyes.  
For the rest, here's the first sentence of the first chapter of _The 
Sharing Knife, Vol. 3: Passage_... actually, it's the first paragraph as 
well.

Dag was riding up the lane thinking only of a Bluefield farm lunch, and 
his likelihood of needing a nap afterwards, when the arrow hissed past 
his face.




Blame Laura, I say, for making those Puss-in-Boots eyes.. 

Ta, L.  (Nice interior book design again, too, I note.)

 (snips)

Oh ooh ooh ooh.

Can we have a snippet?  Please?  Anything?  I live way too far away for
any readings.  A paragraph?  A funny sentence?

I'll be over here groveling for a list New Year's present.

Beggingly yours,
