  On Collaboration
Another of my favorite authors is Dave Freer, who wrote his original novel The Forlorn, then proceeded to collaborate on the wildly popular Pyramid Scheme and Rats, Bats, and Vats (among others) with Eric Flint, and then was invited to work with Lackey and Flint on Shadow of the Lion and This Rough Magic.
Freer told me in recent e-mail correspondence that he feels three things are absolutely essential to a great collaborative effort: communication, commonality of outlook, and different backgrounds and strengths among the various authors.
Freer also said that he believes that a commonality of outlook is extremely important, because if that's not present, it's almost impossible to work with someone well.

 Greg Donahue: "Skeletons"
Dave had told Gerd on a few occasions that he was going to leave the guns put away unless absolutely need.
Dave told me he knew from the get-go that putting all the dialogue in dialect would cut his readership 50%.
Dave wasn't too worried, Gerd was having fun talking to one of the girls, and would be back to pick up where he left off.

 The Session: Shop - Product info
As I've come to expect, Dave's writing is technically superior, with tight plotting, deft dialogue, wry characterization, an anti-hero with unsuspected inner nobility, and a happy ending.
Freer used Grieg's _Hall of the Mountain King_ to help him pace the book - it starts quickly, and maintains the tension clear to the finale.
In the third book in the Heirs of Alexandria series Dave Freer goes out on his own and does an outstanding job with it.

I was speaking to Dave Freer about his GTE a few months back, and the topic went to exhaust systems.
Dave owned #3905 that was found at Jerry Curtis' shop, and was sharing the story about the problems he was having with a stainless steel exhaust system he tried to install.
I was horrified with what Dave went through with this exhaust system, and wanted to share this with anyone considering installing a stainless steel exhaust system.

 Eric Flint’s place on the web » Bibliography
The Wizard of Karres, (HC August 2004 PB Jan 2006), with Mercedes Lackey and Dave Freer (sequel to James Schmidt’s The Witches of Karres.)
The George Washington series I’ll be doing with Dave Drake is straight science fiction, set in the far future, using the life of Washington and the events of the American revolution as what you might call the plot template.
It’s roughly equivalent to the General series that Dave did with Steve Stirling, except using Washington and the American revolution as the model rather than Belisarius and Justinian’s war to reconquer the western Roman Empire.

Authors Eric Flint and Dave Freer combine in a light-hearted look at the military, space-opera, and revolution.
The story maintains a perfect balance between tongue-in-cheek and solid adventure, involving the reader in the characters at the same time as it keeps us smiling.
The seize-the-day attitudes of the little soldiers, facing a naturally short life span compounded by a high risk of death in combat, is the icing on the cake of one hell of an entertaining story.

Lackey, Flint and Freer write a scene where you believe you can see what's happening, then hit you with a ninety degree turn that you just didn't see coming.
The combination of alternate history and fantasy is strengthened by strong emotional ties and romantic entanglements amongst the characters.

Mercedes Lackey, Dave Freer and Eric Flint have managed to write an alternative historical fantasy about 16th century Venice.
And since Lackey and Flint are known for being extremely good on their own, and Freer is too, just not as well known, that's saying a lot.
Highly recommended for Lackey, Flint and Freer fans and for anyone else who enjoys tales of high magic, political intrigue, and Renaissance society with a touch of romance.
