From Spider Robinson’s Web site:
I’ve delivered the novel VARIABLE STAR by Robert A. Heinlein and Spider Robinson to editor Pat LoBrutto at Tor Books, more than two weeks before deadline; hardcover publication is scheduled for September 2006. Based on an outline Robert created in November 1955 (when I was 7), it will be his 53rd book, and my 33rd. Eleanor Wood of Spectrum Literary Agency represents both of us. My new friend David Crosby, a serious Heinlein fan, is presently composing a tune for some lyrics in Chapter One called “On The Way To The Stars.�
Being privileged to write this book has been the greatest honour and the most terrifying challenge of my career. Its creation has been a thrilling and deeply moving experience. I received nothing but support and encouragement from Robert’s family, friends and fans. I am very happy with the way VARIABLE STAR turned out. I think Robert is, too. And I hope you will be.
Damn you, Spider. DAMN YOU! I must now wait six months for new Heinlein.
Imagine being addicted to happy pills. Imagine these are good happy pills that make you smarter. Imagine they ran out of happy pills. Imagine someone made some more happy pills, but they are keeping them locked up for no good reasons for six months.
That’s the situation in which I find myself.
Actually, six months is also too long to have to wait for new Spider Robinson as well ….
I have 2 scrapbooks with Heinlein cartoons especially during World War II and would like to know if any one is interested in purchasing them? Negotiable…They are one of a kind Thank you emma
