Splintegrate
Splintegrate is my current work in progress. It takes place in the same setting as Mainline, two years after the events in that book, and features some of same characters.
What’s it about? Well…I’m still deciding what to say about it, work-in-progress as it is. I know this is where I should put an enticing book-jacket style blurb, but since this baby’s still gestating, I’ll just share some snippets about it right now:
It takes place on Lyndir, capital of the CAS Sector – a planet that’s a regular stop for Reva of Mainline fame (and no, Reva does not appear in this book: what she’s up to at this time is a story unto itself, and must be told separately).
It takes us into the Between-World of the licensed entertainers of the Sa’adani Empire. There we meet Kes, a professional dominatrix who has become a celebrity attraction at a place called Tryst.
Janus is back – last man standing when derevin business fell apart on Selmun III, he’s now a major cog in the machine. He’s a client of Kes’, too – and also a problem for a high-powered imperial authority who wants him out of the way. Unfortunately for her, Kes gets caught in the middle of all this. Imprisoned, altered against her will, and used as a weapon – Kes is at war with herself on many levels as everything she holds dear falls apart around her. How she salvages herself and this situation is something you must read the book to discover.
I’ll be updating this page with more information about Splintegrate in early 2009. Subscribe to the blog, and you’ll get updated about this page when that occurs.
More, soon!

Hey, thanks, and I think it’s totally cool that my readers bother to correspond with *me*, especially since I’ve been under the radar for so long. 
Re Skiffjammer, it’s neat you use that name. There’ll be an entry for that in the Sa’adani wiki when it’s online, which will probably be in the summer.
I’ll have more stuff about Splintegrate on this site in February. Stay tuned.
It is freezing cold outside here today, so I am on the couch with the dogs under a blanket re-reading Mainline. I am so jazzed about Splintegrate….write on, Deborah!
Thanks for sending me an email about Notes from the Lizard and your newsletter. I am especially happy to have a chance to see learn more about Splintegrate. I really liked Mainline. My standard online username is Skiffjammer. I think people get the wrong idea and think it is some sort of obscure sexual reference. Anyway, I am looking forward to reading Splintegrate in its entirety.
I said this the last time I got an email from you. It is so cool that you actaully take time to correspond with your readership.
