Welcome to Fans of Nathan Lowell, I'm Susan Parker an intern with Ridan Publishing who is producing the print version of Nathan's books. This is a group dedicated to all thanks Nathan. I'll be posting updates about his releases, appearances and the like.

We're glad to have you here so step up and introduce yourself.

Hiya!

Thanks, for setting this up, Susan!

It's shaping up to be a great year :)

I'm Jim. I'm interested, but buried under a huge TBR pile. Hopefully, I'll clear it up & give these books a try sometime in the not too distant future. We're supposed to have a hot, dry spell for a while which would be a big help. Too many chores right now. I can't keep the grass mowed or get to all the spraying & weedeating that I need to, not to mention everything else.

Welcome to the group Jim, I'm sure you'd like Nathan's books - they are highly addictive and I'm waithing anxiously for Owner's Share.

Hi I'm Amelia. I'm interested in these books as well. I love discovering new authors, so I'm more than willing to try your books. It sounds like they are quite good. I'll see when I can get to them.

Susan/Nathan, do you know if your books are available on Amazon? Or would I need to check our your website at Ridan?

Just read more in the group. I'll check out the link to your limited editions/paperbacks. Do you have any links to his earlier stuff?

Amelia - You can buy all Ridan books at Amazon - or directly from us. We can get you signed copies if you order through this link:



Limited Edition Hardcover copies are only available through Ridan and can be purchased at this link:



Usually there would be links on the website but we are behind on a few things and hope to have the website updated soon.

Hello everyone! I am curious about these books. I keep going to the sight and looking around.

Also wanted to say thank you for inviting me to the group. :)

Hi everybody.

I've been really busy with BaltiCon 44 and getting the books shipped out and just finding my feet again.

The Trader's Tales are about a universe that's been explored and settled by an airline and not by an air force. Military conquest is not an option because the universe revolves around trade and war gets in the way of trade.

It's been a great deal of fun and I'm looking forward to finishing the 6th book in the cycle.

I'm thrilled to own Quarter Share in paperback. It's so well written and the characters well developed! Thanks, Nathan! I am eager to get my hands on Half Share once it comes out in print.

I'm SVallie and I'm looking forward to nathan's next anything. Now...about that kittylitter...

I recently bought Quarter Share in paperback. I was really confused that I couldn't find the other books. You'll have to correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Quarter Share is the only one in print form and the others are either audible books or in e-book format. I thought this might help others like me who didn't know.

Amelia, you are correct. Quarter share was published in print, but the other stories (except Owners Share) are solely available on Podiobooks.

The other books are expected to come out later (I seem to remember hearing that Half Share was going to come out in 2011, but I could be wrong).

Half Share is due in October 2010, Full Share in April 2011.

Ravenwood is on the table for November, 2010, but it's not actually in the pipeline yet.

I'm looking forward to the others. Thanks for the confirmation.

Hello I am Norman. I have listen to Most of Nathan's Books (except Shaman's Tales. I own Quarter Share(E book)

Hi everybody. I really need to check in here more often, huh?

Half Share is finally out (at least in e-format) and we're stuck on a layout problem for the paper copies. That problem *should* be fixed now and the book will be available to ship as soon as the publisher gets them to me.

Hi I'm Joe.

One of the most important things that any aspiring writer can do is to read books by a good author. Nathan Lowell definitely qualifies. A good writer will make his characters come to life and will make you care about what happens to them.

If you really want to know how successful Nathan is at that, ask his followers about Article 37. I've listened to all of his books and read the ones in print.

All I can say is thanks!

Hi, I'm Gina...I'm 25% into Quarter Share and am HOOKED! I've been looking for something like this for a while! I always enjoy the sidestories, the day to day stuff. I enjoyed the star trek novels but always wondered what went on in between adventures and this book has it in spades. Can't wait to read more!

Hi Gina and welcome to the Fleet. I so envy you for having the whole series to look forward to! I was happy to read in Nathan Lowell's blog that he has several new tales from the Solar Clipper universe in the pipeline. His fantasy novels are great too, in much the same way that his SF stories differ, so give them a try even if you don't normally read fantasy. I agree about Star Trek. Some fan fiction is like what you describe but you have to wade through a lot of it to find those stories.

I'm Betsy, a retired techie. I like selected SF, preferably out of the ordinary. Trader's Tales certainly qualifies. I got hooked when I discovered Quarter Share on Kindle. I'm really waiting eagerly for Owner's Share to come out. I haven't tried any of the pod casts -- I'm not really an aural type of person -- but I may have to break down and try it.

I also used to like fantasy, until they all started to seem like the same formulaic tale. Again, Lowell is different, delightfully so. I really enjoyed Ravenwood, and am again waiting for the sequel.

Hi, I'm Ron. I found Nathan on podiobooks.com years ago. I've listened to everything Nathan has put out in audiobook format at least twice, and as soon as each of the books came out on Kindle I bought them. I can't say enough about his engaging story telling style. I've told all of my sci-if loving friends about these books, and even had one person I had just met tell me about them before I got a chance to tell him.

Nathan, thanks for the great works, all I can say is I'll stay a fan as long as you can keep writing this great literature.

I discovered Nathan on podibooks.com it seems like a very long time ago. I rediscovered him out of work due to depression and other things I'll not mention. Those books helped me reconnect. I just finished buying the set for my Kindle.

Welcome, Norman! If you are on Facebook, look for the group named Golden Age of the Solar Clipper - you will find a lot of discussion among fellow fans.

I have been a fan of Nathan Lowell for a couple years now and have read all the Solar Clipper books (some more than just a few times....) and have found them to be very entertaining. I'm looking forward to more of Ishmael and the crew in the Seeker's Tales which follow.

Welcome, Ben. This group is not very active, but we're loyal.

Welcome indeed. If you are on Facebook, there is an active group of Solar Clipper fans there. Search for "Golden Age of the Solar Clipper".
