Day Three Winner

One hundred thirty readers threw their names into the hat correctly for a chance to win a copy of the MP3 edition of Liaden Universe® novel Dragon in Exile, written by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller, narrated by Kevin T. Collins.

And the winner is!

Number 30, known to close friends as Lee Anderson, of Connecticut.

Let’s have a round of applause for the lucky winner!

We’ve now given away three out of a field of seven prizes.  That means you — yes, you! and you over there, too! still have four chances to win.  But there’s a catch.

Lean in close and I’ll tell you what it is.

Ready?

You have to play to win.

What’s that?  You don’t know how to play?

Here’s your link to the rules.

Please note that, if you choose to play a variant game, which does not follow these rules as they are lain out — you will be held to be playing a different game that has nothing to do with our game.

The news for Tuesday

We have a winner for the Monday night drawing for a free MP3 edition of Dragon in Exile, the 18th novel-length Adventure in the Liaden Universe® created by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller, and!

The winner is Number 55!

Congratulations Number 55, well done, indeed!

We will be releasing the winner’s name on Welcome to Liad, as soon as we have verification and permission to do so.

And you!  Have you entered today’s drawing?  What drawing you ask?  Here’s the rules

We ask people to please read the rules and follow the directions.  “Entries” made at venues other than the venue stipulated will not be counted, plus you will make me cranky.  You don’t want to make me cranky.  Also!  We ask that people enter from the email address that they check at least daily, and not to enter twice from two different email addresses.  This will also make me cranky, and worse — I will mock you.

OK, then!

In other news, Steve had the first of an arranged two doctor appointments yesterday, in which most questions were deferred to the second doctor, who’s up on Wednesday.  I guess that’s a Watch the Skies.

Also, it snowed yesterday, and on the overnight, so first order of bidness this morning was sweeping snow, and have now moved on to coffee and answering my mail.  This will shortly be followed by more coffee, breakfast, and working on the Novel That Will Not End.

Everybody have a good day.

Here’s a photo of Twig to help you get that going.

Liaden Giveaway starts midnight Monday December 5!

Friends of Liad and fans of science fiction, listen up! Here’s a chance for you to brighten your holiday season with a gift for yourself or a gift to give.

We – that’s Sharon Lee and Steve Miller – have seven (7) copies of the Brilliance edition of Sharon Lee and Steve Miller’s Liaden Universe® novel Dragon in Exile narrated by Kevin T. Collins – that’s an audio book on 2 disks, in MP3 format. If you’d like a chance to win one of these all you have to do do is … hold on. Getting ahead of ourselves.

So then, wait, first, the rules.

We’re giving away seven of these audiobooks – one a day this week, starting Monday, December 5 and ending with the drawing on Sunday, December 11 . If you win one book, we’ll ask you not to try for another.

So, we hear you ask, what does it take to win, anyway?

The rules are you need to do something to let us know you’re interested in receiving on of these rare items.

Do something? Yeah, well, we’re writers, we’re not mind readers, Jim. No secret words, no essays, not even a picture of you reading another Liaden book.

All you have to do is! Drop us an email saying “I want to hear Dragon in Exile” at the email address below and if your email is selected out of that day’s entries (we’ll be using a random number generator, so each day will probably have a different chance to win).  We will write to the lucky winner at the email address from which they sent their entry, so make sure it’s an address you check regularly.

No purchase necessary. We ask that no relatives of Lee & Miller, AND no employees of Baen, Brilliance, Audible, or Amazon take part. We’ll accept entries 23 hours each day for 7 days – from midnight our time (that’s US Eastern Standard Time) until 11 PM the following evening.  At midnight, it’s lather, rinse, repeat.

We will let the lucky winner know, via email, and a post on korval.com, after we’ve had coffee the next morning.

Oh, we need you to send your note to:  liadenuniverse@gmail.com

Let the games begin!

Steve Update

Steve and I thank everyone for your concern, your prayers, and your well-wishes.  Rather than answer all the various messages individually, I’m doing One Big Update for everyone.

What Has Gone Before:  On the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, Steve had a “heart event” at the local grocery store.  An ambulance was called, he was transported to the local hospital emergency room, and from there, at the advice of the on-call cardio doctor in Bangor, to Eastern Maine Medical Central, where he was hospitalized briefly so that his ICD* could be interrogated, and other tests as seemed good to the heart experts could be performed.  The interrogation discovered that the device had fired twice, once at 40 jules, again at 50, when the first didn’t get his heart beating again. Tests also confirmed the presence of old scarring on his heart, which everyone guesses means that he had a heart attack at some point in the past that somehow escaped notice. Steve was released from the hospital on Thanksgiving, told to see his doctors within the week, and is, on the EMMC cardio doc’s orders, banned from driving for six months.

Where We Are Now:  Steve is still somewhat tired, and is trying to do some of that “rest” thing that we’re both so proficient at, not.  Next week is the Week of Appointed Doctors, after which he and we will know more about Where-and-How We Should Proceed.  In the meanwhile, we have deadlines, and cats, and life goes on.

Going Forward: The biggest challenge facing us is the ban on Steve being able to drive.  We do still live hellengone out in the country** — 9-ish miles/20-ish minutes to the nearest grocery store, in good weather, which means a 40 minute round-trip before you even get shopping — and we’re suddenly aware of minor risk situations that have always been present in our lives, such as, “If Sharon breaks her glasses. . .” and which have now acquired “. . .we’re screwed,” in the place of “. . .Steve drives her to town.”  Also, I’m night blind, which means that all and any errands must be accomplished between 7am and 3 pm in the winter.

And, really, these are first world problems, considering how things might have gone.

And that’s the up-to-the-minute news.  Once again, thanks to everyone for your concern and support.
