Kristine Kathryn Rusch is a remarkable writer and an amazingly prolific one. She's written crime novels, science fiction novels, fantasy novels, and romance novels (and these are just the ones I know about) under her own and other names. She's written dozens of short stories. She's won awards in just about all those fields I mentioned. What she's doing now, however, is unprecedented, as far as I know. I reviewed one of the Retrieval Artist novels in her Anniversary Day saga a couple of years ago. Then the books stopped. There was apparently a good reason for that. She's decided to release the next six books in the series on a monthly schedule, beginning with A Murder of Clones last month. Has anyone ever tried something like this before? Instead of waiting a year or so for the next book in a series to appear as I did after Blowback, you have to wait only a month. You can see the books and the schedule here if you're interested. Every book I've read in the series has been a good one. They're SF but with a strong mystery element, so you might want to give these a try if you haven't already. They're best read in order, and maybe you'll be hooked.

Cool. I've liked everything I've read by her, especially the short stories set at conventions. I am reading the Retrieval Artist series too.

You have quite a lot of books ahead, then.
I like the Retrieval Artist books, but not all of her other series. I'm not sure whet this is. Are they all Retrieval Artist books?
Well, I looked a the site and I guess they are. I've only read the first 4 of the original series... as you say, a long way to go.
I wish they'd collect the short stories about the security guy at the sf conventions. I think they run in AHMM. Good stories, and she clearly knows a lot about how these conventions are run.

Well, I've read the origina story and the first couple of novels, but I have all of them up to BLOWBACK so real soon now.
