This is what happens when you appear on a Baen cover without a weapon. Beaten to death by a Faery Queen wielding a firefly laden shrub.

No Reading Funne

Hey, no Anne McCaffrey blurb? Ms Ball was a sometime co-author with Ms McCaffrey, notably on the first Acorna book.

Titania’s furious the Shakespeare nerds want to remake A Midsummer Night’s Dream without her in it – but Mary Sue senses a chance for glory.

“Hey, I don’t want to hear the word ‘ripoff.’ Around here we say, if it’s good enough for Fleetwood Mac it’s good enough for Baen!”

“Ow … milady… my arm doth not bend that way.”

@Tor: she’s unfamiliar with human articulation. Look at her left leg.

I assume he’s both seducing her and inviting her to come to the otherworld with him. He’s probably also promising that his sorceress friend won’t take offence to her presence. Whether or not the sorceress/fairy queen lady is also the guy’s ex is unknown at this time.

O what can ail thee, Bendy Arms
Alone and palely loitering?
The gilt has withered from the font
and no Baen ting.
I met a lady with a glow
Full beautiful, a faerie child
Her dress lit up, her wand did too
And her hair was piled
I saw pale kings, and princes too
Pale warriors, goth-pale they all.
They cried – La Ball dame sans McCaffrey
Hath thee in thrall

Sir Philip, don’t you have some Spanish porn you need to fight.

@Tat Wood—Baen called and they want to appoint you Poet Laureate, but they don’t know how to spell “laureate” (or Sun). Good Show, Sir!
July 12th, 2018 at 8:08 pm
Bravo, Tat. I lolled, and made sweet moan.
July 12th, 2018 at 9:23 pm
@Tat: GSS! If a trifle anachronistic.

Just looking at the font let me know it was BAEN!harp arpeggios, fireballs, angry women
Who’s the gawking crowd behind the magickal lady? Nosy neighbors or faery posse?
Why’s Mary Sue in the Canadian tuxedo being awkwardly face-palmed by skinny Chris Pratt? He’s not sure what’s going on either.
(1) true
(3) good question — did they end up not getting along?
@Tat: Bravo and GSS!

For a sec I thought the title was The Farty Sun
July 14th, 2018 at 2:12 am
@AS: This is also a valid reading, with that font. Maybe that’s where the glowing torch is coming from — Faery Queen lit the gas on fire?
(Alas, she’s too clothed to be Empress Fairy Peg O’Ribble.)
Other possible title: No Earthly Reasonne (for this to exist).

@GSS quite right!
The cover also looks like Pirates of the Caribbean Meets The Hobbit.

“Ask me any favor, fair maiden from another time, and tis’ shall be done.”
“Just brush your teeth! You’ve got some serious Elizabethan halitosis!”
