The really annoying thing is? I feel like I’m missing something.
Well. It’ll come to me.
Today’s blog title brought to you by The Talking Heads: The Road to Nowhere
Whenever I hear that line, it makes me think of the opening (?) shot in The Discreet Charm Of The Bourgeoisie which shows a group of people walking through shoulder-high wheat.
Sure hope I got that right – it’s been a long time since I saw that movie…
Sharon,
Are there enough Archer’s Beach short stories for a book like the Liaden Universe Constellation?
Maybe a novella or two could round it out?

Well, let’s see…*gets out adding machine*
Looks like we’re just a hair over 40,000 words of published Archers Beach shorts. Two novellas gets us to 75,000 — three pushes us over the 100,000 word mark, but then? I’d need to find a publisher, Archers Beach being, as it were, No Liaden Universe(R).
Sharon and Steve,
Having recently finished the eARC of Trader’s Leap, and seeing your list of work above, I just want to THANK YOU both for not getting tired of writing in the Liaden Universe.
The characters you’ve brought to life are like old friends, or family, that just happen to live distantly. But, it is such a joy to occasionally get together and find out what they have been up to since last we met.
So again, I thank you, and eagerly await the next “reunion”.

Sleep? Eat? Ice cream on the beach?
I like Archers Beach in any form you choose to provide it.
And I’m glad you seem to be feeling better.
Too bad on the anthology for Archer’s. Was hoping it could help the cash flow.
Yes! Number Six. More adventures on the beach!
It sounds almost as if… yes, that’s the word! You’re … … busy! Glad to know you have plans and hope you have some plans for life and rest in there too.
And yes, the punctuation could be better, in that sentence there.
