Just slipping in under the wire here. I recently heard about this series and I can&#39;t wait to read it. Wonderful interview. <br /><br />As a jump pilot, I would make it a very short trip to take a peek at some of the interesting moons in our solar system--Europa, Io, Titan, to name a few. Of course, those rings of Saturn look gorgeous from afar and I&#39;ll bet they&#39;re amazing to see up close and personal. And the Great Red Spot on Jupiter? It&#39;s hard to imagine a swirling planet-sized, centuries-old storm. <br /><br />Yeah, just a short trip to see the sights right in the neighborhood, but I&#39;ll probably be out there staring in wonder for quite some time.Lauriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01198035351359321392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4792953149341927603.post-89694508727604192082009-07-03T14:44:51.541-04:002009-07-03T14:44:51.541-04:00Just orderd the first novel.<br />Looking forward to reading it.<br /><br />JDJames Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13455194214354673017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4792953149341927603.post-3106353545260523662009-07-02T14:23:58.079-04:002009-07-02T14:23:58.079-04:00What a great interview and great advice from Ms. Landon. Thanks!<br /><br />Sign me up for the contest. I&#39;ll buy the trilogy if I don&#39;t win, but free is always nice : )<br /><br />As a jump pilot, I&#39;d make relatively short hops a few light years at a time, going as far out into the universe as I could, then come back and regale the masses with what I experienced.Cathy in AKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08667978358875270260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4792953149341927603.post-54599761337120817152009-07-01T16:53:31.385-04:002009-07-01T16:53:31.385-04:00Okay, here&#39;s where I have to admit I am entering the contest without even reading the interview. I intend to start this series on the trip to RWA nationals, and I don&#39;t want to know anything about it ahead of time!Sharon Lynn Fisherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11886205665048406062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4792953149341927603.post-51605199338626121842009-07-01T16:15:58.917-04:002009-07-01T16:15:58.917-04:00Sounds like a great series, Kristin! I&#39;m definitely intrigued. And great advice for aspiring writers. I&#39;ve learned the hard way that not only do you have to write what you love to read, but it can take a long time to find an editor who agrees with your vision, so you have to believe in what you write and be persistent. <br /><br />If I were a jump pilot, Heather, I&#39;d have to jump to the outer reaches of the universe just to see what&#39;s out there.Susan Macateehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07476340887041053638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4792953149341927603.post-54519201612033560112009-07-01T10:45:22.306-04:002009-07-01T10:45:22.306-04:00Heather, what a great question that was. I&#39;d like to revise and amplify my answer: There is so much to see that I think I&#39;d also want a few extra centuries of life to just begin to scratch the surface of a tiny fraction of everything there is to explore.<br /><br />This is one reason I write science fiction. There&#39;s so much room!Kristin Landonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16500022535531148559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4792953149341927603.post-8792103559716445172009-07-01T10:40:54.157-04:002009-07-01T10:40:54.157-04:00I loved Hidden Worlds... but with life intervening, I never got around to Cold Minds. Happy to report I just ordered both of them five minutes ago from Amazon. :D<br /><br />Can&#39;t Wait.

That&#39;s easy. I&#39;d jump to the Andromeda Galaxy and hope I crossed paths with Harlock, Emeraldas, Maetel, and Tetsuro! :)Pennynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4792953149341927603.post-32322264522091717682009-06-30T20:58:39.242-04:002009-06-30T20:58:39.242-04:00Me! I want the trilogy - it sounds great.<br /><br />I would jump to somewhere near Saturn - so I could see the planet and its rings with my own eyes.
