I very much like "The Colonel's Tiger" in the Man-Kzin Wars shared stuff, and the one about the Kzinti governor of occupied Wunderland, who was so proud that his sons were *cooperating* in trying to murder him.
I read a number of others, but those are the only two I remember.
But I liked pretty much all of #CJCherryh 's "Merovingian Nights" shared world series.

Ach. Wat jammer. Geen Foreigner nr 23 meer dus. Het zal geen makkelijke beslissing zijn geweest voor haar om te stoppen met schrijven. Het is wat het is.
Ik heb praktisch al haar boeken trouwens.

I missed this because it was only posted on Facebook, but CJ Cherry, one of my favorite writers and a multi-award-winning sci-fi and fantasy writer, has announced her retirement from writing, pointing to multiple health issues in recent years and her age.
Cherryh is an incredible writer with a body of work that speaks for itself. It's a shame she doesn't get much recognition as one of the greats of genre fiction these days. I hope she enjoys her retirement.

I heard earlier today that C. J. Cherryh is officially retiring from writing... so let me share a couple of my favorites of hers.
Pride of Chanur. This blew my mind the first time through -- I hadn't encountered another book from solely the alien point of view. (This may be an influence on my writing.)
Fortress in the Eye of Time. Slow, pensive, and atmospheric epic fantasy. More gradual discovery, mystery, and politics than battles.

Saw the news yesterday that my favorite author, #CJCherryh has stepped away from writing permanently because she no longer has the ability to track longer and more convoluted narratives - which have been hallmarks of her books.
I've been in the middle of a Foreigner series re-read. I do this every 4-5 years. It's a little bittersweet, knowing that the series will probably end with book 22. (Which is A. Lot.)
That had to have been a very unnerving point to come to. It may have taken quite a long time for her to get to the realization that, I can't really do this any more, I don't want the quality of the books to suffer, so I'm going to step back now while the body of work is all, every last bit, something that I'm proud of. That's scary both in terms of income, and in terms of "here's another milestone in the twilight of my human life."
I'm so sad that she had to face this. My re-reads now will be more than a little bit bittersweet. But I'm so glad for all of the characters and stories that she gave to us. -

Sad news today: C.J. Cherryh has announced that there will be no more books from her: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1F27iFDAzo/
I've greatly enjoyed all her works, and even the recent "Hinder Stars" (collaboratively written with her longtime partner Jane Fancher) show an ability to build a tense, engaging narrative out of what is essentially an economic mystery.
Her works engage with "the other" in a way that insists thinking beings don't necessary all think alike, while also showing an optimistic view of human adaptability and versatility.
One of my favorite stories about Cherryh's work comes from a different author, Jo Walton, who has talked about playing Elite with her partner and imagining themselves as a Family on a trading ship, splitting the economic and navigation responsibilities between the pair of them.
Her impact and output have been immense, and I'm glad we get to keep her for a while longer, even if "the body of work is what it is."

C J Cherryh says she will not be writing any more fiction. She's had a lot of health issues and she's in her eighties, so I expected it was coming, but I still hoped for another book, as you do. I am just glad she is well enough to tell us herself.
Now seems a good time for a reread--Alliance universe? Atevi? Mri? Chanur? They are all so twisty and good.

Zuletzt beendetes Fantasy Buch: "Storm Season - Thieves World #4" - High stakes für die Diebeswelt, da immer mehr die Götter sich direkt einmischen. Verstehe dass das einer UB Kollegin zuviel war, aber mir gefällt es weil die Entwicklung in sich stimmig bleibt. #ThievesWorld #RobertLynnAsprin #CJCherryh #JanetMorris #DianaLPaxson #LynnAbbey #AndrewJOffutt #Fantasyromane #Amreading

I've been struggling with my sci-fi book for quite some time now, mostly because I couldn't come up with interesting/believable alien civilizations.
I found an old article written by one of my favorite writers, CJ Cherryh, that's really helped. She talks about designing the planet first, and then writing how life would evolve based on the conditions of the sun and the planet.
Fascinating stuff, and you can read it here (pg 24)
