Second installment of the re-reading project is up on re-reading the Okal Rel Saga blog. And ORU art features on Michelle's Art By Michelle Monzaga Milburn site, which is also cool.

So many social networking sites, so little time. So sharing today's tweet on my blog. I couldn't figure out what I wanted to do with twitter so I decided I would use it to work through the whole Okal Rel saga series, page by page and book by book, and see if I caught up with myself. Ideally, each day I tweet a line from a page. Sometimes I miss a few days. Sometimes I find two lines on a page I like too much to chose between and do both. Still working my way through Part 1: Courtesan Prince. To see it all, visit http://twitter.com/okalrelsrv.

Found a 2006 review of Courtesan Prince that showed up on a site called bookpleasures. Click the image or title to visit.

Paul concludes with:
"This is a good piece of society-building. Since this is not the usual sort of
new world, this novel will require some patience on the part of the reader (it
takes a while to get going). It is also the first of a projected ten-book
series. It's very much worth reading."

Ques: What was Von's answer to Ann's question, "Are you sane?"

Answer: "I don't think so but it doesn't matter." (p. 291)

Anyone need a copy of Part 1: The Courtesan Prince to hook a friend on the saga, or get started themselves, there's one available cheap on EBay! Maybe I'm weird, but I find it exciting to discover books from the saga getting recycled. Guess 'cause I'm in it to maximize the ORU's exposure in the world so other people get to know the characters and situations that have entertained me for so long. I've been reading passages for CFIS 93.1 these last couple of months, too. Behind on some of the other projects due to an up-coming job change. I will be the next "ARD" for the Quesnel campus of the College of New Caledonia. "ARD" stands for Associate Regional Director, but I gather all anyone ever refers to the position as is "the Ay-Ar-Dee". I start in Quesnel Oct 13, 2009. Once I'm settled in, I'll be family-less during the week, and will be working on Parts 8, 9 and 10 of the ORU saga for entertainment in the evenings. Three books to go! (Parts 6 and 7 are written and awaiting their slots in Edge's publication schedule.)
