The Gate that Locks the Tree is also available in paper format from Amazon ONLY. Here’s your link.
PATREON NEWS
Last week, a new podcast was posted — Sharon reading her latest Archers Beach story, “The Vestals of Midnight.” That is available to Patrons only.
However, we have unlocked ALL of the previous podcasts, which means you — yes, you! — can listen to them. Here’s your link to the Lee-and-Miller front page. You will have to scroll down to find the podcasts.
SPLINTER UNIVERSE
The discovery of a few Liaden (and other) splinters written way, WAY back in the last century has prompted a re-opening of Splinter Universe. New to the site are “The Zork and Biff”, and “Shan’s Getting Married”.
For those unfamiliar with the site, there are many, many tasty morsels of stories and bits of novels that never were. Please feel free to look around and read.
Here’s the link to the front page.
CARPE DIEM
The thirtieth anniversary mass market paperback edition of Carpe Diem, the third-ever published novel set in the Liaden Universe®, is now available for pre-order and will be published, as they say, on Tuesday, February 25. Here’s the Amazon link.
ACCEPTING THE LANCE MASS MARKET
Looking a little further ahead, the mass market edition of Accepting the Lance will be published on October 27. Lance came out in December 2019 in hardcover, ebook, and audio editions.
TRADER’S LEAP
The SEQUEL to Accepting the Lance (yes, the SEQUEL), Trader’s Leap, will be published on December 1, and is now available for pre-order from Amazon. Here’s your link.
ALBACON
Sharon and Steve will be Writer Guests of Honor at AlbaCon, September 11-13, 2020, in Albany, New York.

Okay, ya got me.
By which I mean, I bought The Gate that Locks the Tree.
Four Bucks and change to keep the Luck running rough about you Two. Sure. Why not?
There is some regret there, mainly because The Constellations lose some of their Yippee Joy Joy impact, what with being more clued in to what goes on with the Lee/Miller cabal.
But, I read the eArcs, I read the stories, I buy the books, as they become available, including The Constellations.
And the chapbooks.
It’s the internet, I tell ya.
A “clowder”? Really? Who knew it was a word? (Strictly rhetorical of course.)
After plowing thru another author’s work (just me, no aspersion towards said author), GATE was a joy to read. & will be again. Same for VISIT & Married. Whew!
There’s an old, old game called Venery, where you make up names for collectives of animals, but it works for other things. Thus, we have a murder of crows (but only, I note an UNKINDNESS of ravens).
I have a book called An Exaltation of Larks, which is remarkably amusing, listing out many of these collective terms.
