Cover for “The War of the Stolen Mother”<\/p><\/div>\n

I decided I ought to bring the conlangers up-to-date on what I’ve published so far.\u00a0 I haven’t posted anything here since May 2o, so it’s about time I did so.
\nI’ve now published three volumes.\u00a0(These links will take you to all my books on Amazon\u00a0<\/a>and on Smashwords<\/a>.)\u00a0 “Monster Is in the Eye of the Beholder” is an SF\u00a0novella incorporating an older version of one of the major characters in the “The Termite Queen”; it has no developed conlang, but it does have a naming language.\u00a0 As for “The Termite Queen” itself, both volumes have now been published.\u00a0 The paperback versions present\u00a0both the Shshi and the !Ka<t\u00e1 languages as I intended them to look, with the Wingding symbols intact.\u00a0 The\u00a0Kindle versions worked fine with\u00a0!Ka<t\u00e1, preserving the musical notes that stand for warbles and trills,\u00a0but I substituted the syllabic variants for the Wingdings.\u00a0 That isn’t really wrong – it just doesnt look the way I intended it to look.\u00a0 The Smashwords versions works fine with the syllabic substitutions, but it wouldn’t take the musical notes or the mathematical operator \u2219, which stands for a cough.\u00a0 It substituted question marks for these.\u00a0 However, I went ahead and published those versions anyway, because it does make the\u00a0text available for people who have e-readers other than Kindle.
\nThat’s where things stand at the moment.\u00a0 I’m currently working on formatting the first volume of “The Labors of Ki’shto’ba Huge-Head,” entitled “The War of the Stolen Mother.”\u00a0 (See cover art at head of this post.)\u00a0 Since these stories are entirely about my termite people, there are lots of language references, including information about the additional termite languages that exist on that planet.\u00a0 They should be of considerable interest to everybody who appreciates both conlangs and concultures, and they are rousing good stories to boot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
