PUBLISHING NEWS

1 BREAD ALONE: Adventures in the Liaden Universe® Number 34 will be published on November 25, 2021. BREAD ALONE collects all of the so-called “bakery” stories into one volume. The stories included are: “Degrees of Separation,” “Fortune’s Favors,” “Block Party,” and “Our Lady of Benevolence.” The first three stories are reprints – that means they have been published previously – “Our Lady . . . ” is original to this chapbook. At the time this InfoDump was put to bed, preorders were available from Amazon. The other vendors will eventually have the book in stock, but for right now, you may PREorder from Amazon ONLY. Here’s your link.

2 The Baen reissue of LOCAL CUSTOM will go on sale as an ebook and mass market paperback on November 30, 2021. You may read sample chapters here.  Art by Sam R. Kennedy

3 A LIADEN UNIVERSE® CONSTELLATION, VOLUME 5 is now available from Baen.com as an eARC. You can either purchase the eARC or read a sample (or, yanno, do both) at this link.
3a You will be able to buy the ebook/paper edition on February 1, 2022 from all of the Usual Suspects. Cover art by Sam R. Kennedy

4 Liaden Universe® novel FAIR TRADE, the third featuring Jethri Gobelyn, a Terran apprenticed to a Liaden master trader, will be published by Baen on May 3, 2022. Cover art by David B. Mattingly. The hardcover may be preordered at your favorite bookstore; the ebook may not. There will be an ebook, but because of Baen’s tradition of providing an eARC before actual publication, the ebook cannot be preordered (we are repeating what we’re told here – further questions may be addressed to Baen at the email address on the site). We do not yet have a date for the appearance of the eARC nor any news on an audiobook – watch the skies.

5 Liaden Universe® short story “Gadreel’s Folly” will be included in the anthology, GIRLS IN TANK TOPS, edited by Jason Cordova. Projected publication date is late 2022, from Baen. Contributors include Lee and Miller, Esther Friesner, David Drake, Kevin Ikenberry, Robert E. Hampson, Joelle Presby, Marisa Wolf, Lydia Sherrer, G. Scott Huggins, and a few others. Editor Jason Cordova says: “It’s a great mixture of humor and action, with a few turning a little dark. The authors have turned in everything from SF to alternate history to fantasy. It’s a great blend of genres with one unifying theme: a girl and her tank.”

6  For those who may have missed it, the mass market edition of TRADER’S LEAP, the 23rd novel set in the Liaden Universe® is now available from your favorite bookstore. Cover art by David B. Mattingly.

Liaden Universe® InfoDump Number 125

Liaden Universe® InfoDump No. 125

Ten Things Make an InfoDump
Thing One:  Splinter Universe Presents!
Splinter Universe is undergoing housecleaning and a slight revamp, with a biggish new project in mind.  This meant removing material that has been on the site since the early 2000s.  Fans of the site were concerned that the content would be “lost forever,” so, instead, it’s been collected into this large — 200+ page — volume:  Splinter Universe Presents!
The book includes bits of novels or stories that stalled; outtakes from published novels; character sketches; and discovery drafts. Everything is Liaden in nature, but none of the collected pieces are complete. They are of possible interest to devoted fans of the Liaden Universe®; they are not guaranteed to be everyone’s cuppa. Every one of these bits has been previously published on Splinter Universe, for the amusement of the authors and the interest of those same devoted fans. There is nothing new, save the Authors’ Introduction.
Here are some sell links:
Thing Two:  Speaking of Splinter Universe
Several new splinters have been added to the site including an outtake from Alliance of Equals, an early vision of what Daav yos’Phelium did while he was separated from his clan, a glimpse of Shan as he prepares for his first contract marriage, and a fun little piece of weirdness featuring a Zork.
Go here to share in the fun!
And watch the skies for news of that new project mentioned above.
Thing Three:  Sharon Lee reads The Vestals of Midnight
This is Sharon reading her short Archers Beach story “The Vestals of Midnight,” available to the public for the first time!  Here’s your link:  https://www.patreon.com/posts/34148316
Thing Four:  Barnburner and Gunshy Audiobooks
Sharon Lee has contracted with Tantor Audiobooks to produce her cozy Maine mysteries, Barnburner and Gunshy as audiobooks.  Narrator is Traci Odom.  Watch the skies for news of availability.
If you haven’t read Sharon’s cozies, they are available in ebook format from All the Usual Suspects.  Below are links to Baen’s catalog pages, and previews.
Thing Five:  Pinbeam Books
Pinbeam Books is Lee and Miller’s indie publishing arm.  It is the publisher of the Adventures in the Liaden Universe®  series, the most recent titles there being The Gate that Locks the Tree, Shout of Honor, and Fortune’s Favors.  Pinbeam is also the publisher of various of Steve Miller and Sharon Lee’s separate and non-Liaden work, as well as the newly released Splinter Universe Presents!
Here’s the link to the Pinbeam Books catalog.
Thing Six: Upcoming Liaden Books from Baen
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.  Here’s your link.

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.Steve is working on Night of Masks, the sequel to Trade Secret.  The work on this is going slower than we would like, for Reasons explained under Thing Nine, below; as a result, we do not have a publication date at this time.

Thing Seven:  New Short Story at Baen.com
In mid-November, brand-new Liaden story “Preferred Seating” will be published, free! on Baen.com.

Thing Eight:  Lee and Miller GOH
Assuming Circumstances allow — Sharon and Steve will be Writer Guests of Honor at AlbaCon, September 11-13, 2020, in Albany, New York.

Thing Nine:  Boring Health Stuff, Author Edition
Those who have been following Sharon’s blog will recall that she had a mastectomy in mid-March. She has healed well from that surgery, but now there are other therapies being explored to finish the job.  As things stand now, she will be undergoing radiation, and may be (we’re waiting for test results as this newsletter is being written) slotted in for chemotherapy.

Thing Ten: Baen UNtravelling Roadshow
Join us right here at https://www.facebook.com/BaenBooks at 4 PM, 4/18 for a presentation featuring David Weber, Eric Flint, Catherine Asaro, Wil McCarthy, Robert E. Hampson, Robert Buettner, Charles E. Gannon, Griffin Barber, Sharon Lee, Steve Miller and the Baen Editorial team. Learn about our new books…and have your chance to WIN free EBOOKS.

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.

Notes about personalized books:  The authors reserve the right to reject any personalization request for any reason.  This is solely up to the authors; there is no appeal.  Pro Tip:  The best way to make sure your personalization request is honored is to keep it short, keep it clean, and keep it polite.  Thank you.

Advance praise for Lee and Miller’s Accepting the Lance:
ACCEPTING THE LANCE is a tour de force! So many threads woven, so many pieces moved on the board, old and new friends met, this book is an extraordinary installment in a brilliant series. I stayed up till 3 a.m. reading it and I have zero regrets. An incredible ride of a book!

Getcher Red Hot Signed Copies of Liaden Universe® Constellation IV!

Liaden Universe® Constellation IV will be published on June 3.

You may now pre-order signed and/or personalized copies of Liaden
Universe® Constellation IV from Uncle Hugo’s SF Bookstore.

Here’s your link.

For the purposes of this discussion “signed” means “the authors will
write their names on the half-title.”  “Personalized” means “the authors
will write their names on the half-title *and* a short inscription of
your choice.”  Note:  The authors reserve the right to refuse a
particular personalization if they should find it offensive for any
reason.  The authors’ judgement in this may not be appealed.  Should the
authors refuse a personalization, they will still — and only — sign
their names.

Included in this volume are:  The Authors’ Foreword, “Street Cred,” “Due
Diligence,” “Friend of a Friend,” “Cutting Corners,” “Block Party,”
“Degrees of Separation,” “Excerpts from Two Lives,” “Revolutionists.”

Fortune’s Favors:  Adventures in the Liaden Universe® Number 28

. . .is on sale as an ebook at Baen, BN, Apple, and a host of others.

If you were an early adopter of the Kindle edition, you received a
broken book.  Amazon reports that, as of April 25, it has fixed its
error concerning the “Start of Book,” and all new customers will
download a book that will open to the first chapter.  If you downloaded
a broken book, you may delete your book , and re-download the repaired
book to your device.  There is no charge to do this.

Watch the Skies!

Shout of Honor: Adventures in the Liaden Universe® Number 29 is in
production, and will, in a well-run universe, be available for purchase
on May 15.  Watch the skies.  . . .Honor is a brand-new novella which
looks in on some briefly-seen characters.  It happens in-between
Neogenesis and Accepting the Lance.

More Titles in the Pipeline!

The second Liaden Universe® novel, Conflict of Honors, will be
reissued in mass market from Baen Books on October 28.  Mark your calendars!

Accepting the Lance will be published by Baen Books on December 2, in
hardcover, and ebook editions.  …Lance is the direct sequel to
Neogenesis.  You will be able to preorder signed copies of Accepting the
Lance from Uncle Hugo’s SF Bookstore after Labor Day.  So, yanno, mark
your calendars there, too.

Eye Candy!

One of the great pleasures of our writing is that we get to inspire art
by excellent artists, and when we can, add some to our walls. Among our
recent additions are the Alan Pollock cover art for Fledgling
available here — and some David Mattingly cover art for the Liaden books — find some here.

Upcoming Conventions

Steve and Sharon have had a rough couple years In Real Life, and are
mostly sticking close to home this year.  We are open to invitations
from conventions for 2020.

RELEASE THE VIRGINS! KICKSTARTER
Release the Virgins is an original anthology built around the phrase — wait for it — “Release the virgins.”  No, we don’t know why.  But!  It sounded like fun and Steve agreed to do a story; then Sharon agreed to do a story, too, joining a host of other writers with a playful streak, including Jody Lynn Nye, David Gerrold, Cecelia Tan, Lawrence Watt-Evans, Shariann Lewitt — and more!  The campaign runs until June 17.Here’s your link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/667435382/release-the-virgins 

LEE AND MILLER WILL NOT ATTEND WORLDCON 76
We had intended to attend WorldCon; we had budgeted time and money; arranged schedules, and then — in late February, we looked at a house in town (we have long been looking to move into town, closer to services and conveniences), fell in love with the place, made an offer, and — the long and short of it is that, all the money and time we had budgeted for attending WorldCon instead went to moving into the new house.  We’re very sorry that we won’t be at the con with our friends and readers, old and new.  But we’re very happy with our new situation.

On the topic of conventions — this is the first time since 1997, that we haven’t had a convention, or three, on the schedule.  That feels. . .strange, indeed.

Everyone who is going to WorldCon — have fun!
