New Heinlein novel sold to TOR

Brethren and sistren,

today (11 December) Patrick LoBrutto of TOR Books won the auction for
publi****ng rights to "Robert A. Heinlein's VARIABLE STAR by Spider
Robinson," the new novel I will write based on Robert's extensive 1955
outline and notes.  Please pass the word.

I couldn't be more pleased with house or editor.  TOR currently
publishes my Callahan's Place series and a lot of my backlist--and Pat,
my friend of thirty years, edited the last two Callahan novels.

Please note: I already have another book under contract with another
house, half done, which I must complete before I can start VARIABLE
STAR.  This will take awhile, in other words.  

I can't wait to get started.  So: back to work on the one in the
pipeline.  [A Baen Book, tentatively titled OF THREE MINDS.]

Thanks for all the kind words of sup****t you've posted here, folks. 
They help, they do.
