Baen Writes Contract for Two More Liaden Novels
Toni Weisskopf, publisher and woman of all work at Baen Books, has contracted for two additional Liaden Universe® novels, to be handed in during 2018/2019. These two novels are in addition to the Five Book Dash, of which Dragon in Exile is First (of Five) and Alliance of Equals is Second. Lee and Miller are calling these two newly contracted novels, the Mask Books, for Reasons.

This means that there are currently six more Liaden books in your (and our) future. If you see Toni at a con, or online, or, yanno, at the grocery store — be sure to thank her for supporting your reading habit.

Shan and Priscilla Ride Again
We have posted, on Splinter Universe, an introduction to, and two outtake chapters from, Shan and Priscilla Ride Again, a Liaden novel which was never finished, though it was written out to 15 chapters (about 22,000 words). Here are your links:

Introduction

Outtake Chapters

For the next 16 weeks (aka through August 3, with one week off (the week of June 8) because, Book Tour), we will be posting a chapter from Shan and Priscilla Ride Again on Splinter Universe. The reason it’s 16 weeks for 15 chapters is because there is a prologue, which we will post next Monday, April 13.

Lee and Miller Commit Patreon
Over the years lots of you have asked us for a mechanism to show extra support for what we do, to avoid the necessity of our taking time and energy away from our writing when the slings and arrows of coincidence, cat illnesses, people illnesses, and even car breakdowns.

At one point in our career, we thanked folks, and said we’re OK, we’ve got SRM Publisher to help us through. That’s because SRM’s purpose was to fill-in the cash flow freelancers see, which comes in lumps (or sometimes even big lumps) a few times a year and which then leave in big lumps to pay the bills that have accumulated during the in-betweens. But SRM closed because of Steve’s medical issues that ended up with an ICD implant and a long recovery period. Alas, those sling and arrows of life, didn’t stop.

We’ve had a few readers and fans recognize that situation, and volunteer to support us with a few extra dollars through a monthly direct Paypal donation, or through the mail. Others of our readers participate through our Splinter Universe offerings — again, some on a per story basis, some through a scheduled donation.

In the face of our house-hunt and approaching deadlines on a whole bunch of books, we finally agreed to test the waters of a more formal crowd-funded system, since we can’t **always** come up with a story, chapter or splinter when we’re in the midst of book stuff. So we’re testing Patreon, a well-known system that in some ways is similar to Kickstarter — but which doesn’t need to meet a number of Kickstarter’s not uncomplicated rules and assumptions.

If you’d like to kick in an extra $buck or two every month, you can help. We’ll continue to feed Splinter Universe with odds and ends of things as we can and we’ll be able to concentrate and knock down the medical bills and the cat bills and car replacement bills along the way while having a clearer idea of how much house we should be looking for — it might even help us move closer to the ocean!

Here’s where you go for details, and to sign on to Patreon. https://www.patreon.com/leeandmiller

If instead you’d like to send direct via Paypal you can do that too — see the links at Splinter Universe (add links), and if you prefer a snailmail connection — we’re at Steve Miller, PO Box 1586, Waterville, ME 04903 … thanks!

PhilCon, Here We Come!
Sharon Lee and Steve Miller will be Principal Speakers at the 78th celebration of PhilCon, sharing the stage with Bob Eggleton and Kyle Cassidy. PhilCon will be held from November 21-23 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. Here’s your link.Audio Edition of Carousel Sun now Available!
The Audible edition of Carousel Sun, the second book in Sharon Lee’s Archers Beach trilogy, is now available! Here’s your link.

Preorder signed and/or personalized copy of Carousel Seas from the Uncle!
If you would like a signed and/or personalized copy of the trade paperback edition of CAROUSEL SEAS — the THIRD book in Sharon Lee’s Archers Beach trilogy — which will be published in January 2015 (that’s ONLY FOUR MONTHS from now!) here’s how to make that happen. Notice that there is a DEADLINE involved, so order early and often.

* You may now pre-order a signed copy of Carousel Seas from Uncle Hugo’s Bookstore via this link.

*You may also, for a limited time, have your pre-ordered signed book *personalized.* “Personalized” means you ask the author to write something special on the title page in addition to their name. These can be as simple as, “To Marge,” and as complex as “To Marge in memory of that night in Seattle.” *Fair Warning*: I, as the Signing Author reserve the right not to inscribe a book with a personalization I find to be, in my sole judgment: (1) offensive, (2) too long, (3) anything else. You will use the Special Instructions box on the order form to write out your personalization — Please check your spelling, ’cause I’m going to assume that you’ve typed it out exactly as you want it.

**There is a deadline involved* if you want your pre-ordered signed copy of Carousel Seas *personalized*. That *deadline is November 15, 2014*. So you need to do this now.

*There will only be a limited number of signed copies of /Carousel Seas/ available, they will only be available through Uncle Hugo’s SF Bookstore in Minneapolis. The exact number of signed copies available depends upon how many are pre-ordered. So, sooner is better than later to order, if you want a signed copy.

**Here’s that link again.

Thanks very much for your interest and support.

*SIGNED AND PERSONALIZED CAROUSEL SUN AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER*
The following message from the Uncle has just arrived:

/We’ve arranged for our order of Carousel Sun by Sharon Lee (sequel to Carousel Tide) to be shipped from the bindery to the author for signature and then shipped on to us. If you pre-order a copy before the end of December and request a personalization as well as a signature, we’ll try to arrange it. The book won’t be shipped until around the end of January or beginning of February, and you can continue to order a signed copy until we’re sold out. But if you wait until January to order a copy, you won’t get a personalized copy. (Yes, we still have signed hardcover copies of the last 2 Liaden Universe® novels by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller.) The link to all the signed Lee & Miller stuff is on the Browse Our New Books page./
/Best regards,/

These can be as simple as, “To Marge,” and as complex as “To Marge in memory of that night in Seattle.” Fair Warning: As the Signing Author, Sharon reserves the right //not// to inscribe a book with a personalization she finds to be, in her sole judgment: (1) offensive, (2) too long, (3) anything else. In such cases, she will sign your book — period. You will use the Special Instructions box on the order form to write out your personalization — /PLEASE CHECK YOUR SPELLING/, because Sharon is going to assume that you’ve typed it out /exactly/ as you want it.

3. **THERE IS A DEADLINE INVOLVED** if you want your pre-ordered signed copy of /Carousel Sun/ **personalized**. That deadline is *DECEMBER 31, 2013*. So you need to do this now.

4. There will only be a limited number of signed copies of /Carousel Sun/ available, they will only be available through Uncle Hugo’s SF Bookstore in Minneapolis.

Liaden Universe® InfoDump: The Big, Crunchy Edition

Okey-dokey, then! This is going to be chock-full of Stuff, so bear with me. I’ll try to break things out into Subjects, to make it easier to digest.

The 2013 Liaden Universe® World Tour and Trade Secret Push!

Steve and I want to thank everyone who made our book tour a reality: Baen publisher Toni Weisskopf; Corinda Carfora, the Baen publicist; our wonderful drivers, Jim and Aileen; photographer David Decker; and most especially the intrepid indie bookstore owners and staff who put themselves out to make us feel welcome: Tyler Stewart at Pandemonium; Brian and crew at Toadstool Books in Milford NH; Patty Cryan of Annie’s Bookstop in Worcester; Maria Perry of Flights of Fantasy; Joan Silvestro at Book Trader of Hamilton; and Thea Kotroba at the Chester County Book Company — and the PR folks at the Burlington, Worcester, Holyoke, and UPenn Barnes and Noble Bookstores —

And! Everyone who came out to meet us, listened to us talk, asked questions, and got their books signed. It was great to meet you, live and in person!

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

For those interested, there are pictures of the tour here. We’ll add more, as soon as we get them off Steve’s camera. Also! If you have a picture from the tour that you’d like to see added to the album, email it to me at rolanniATGmailDOTcom, with your name and where it was taken.

We also want to thank PhilCon, for adding us to the list of panelists at what amounted to the Last Possible Second; especially Todd and Joanie Dashoff, and programming chair Hugh Casey. We had a blast.

And we’d especially like to thank Robert the Red Cap at the 30th Street Station in Philadelphia, who sorted us out, got us to the train on time, made sure we were sitting on the right side, and wished us a safe trip back to Maine.

Also — is that one badass angel overlooking that train station, or what?

One more stop on the Trade Secret tour

Steve and I will be talking sci-fi and signing books at Books-a-Million in South Portland, Maine, this Sunday, November 17, from 2-4 pm. Here’s a map, with phone number and address. Hope to see you there!

Signed Trade Secrets on-hand at Uncle Hugos!

Uncle has fulfilled all preorders; and still has a few signed copies of Trade Secret in-hand, so if you missed getting a signed copy — or if you’d like to give a signed copy as a Yule gift (books make wonderful presents!) — you can still order from Uncle Hugo. Here’s the link.

Carousel Sun news!

For them what partakes, the eArc of Carousel Sun, sequel to Carousel Tides, is now available from Baen. Here’s the link.

The tradepaper edition of Carousel Sun will hit the shelves of your favorite bookstore in February 2014; the ebook, a few weeks earlier. At this point, I have no news of an audio edition.

Now! Don Blyly of Uncle Hugo’s and I are working out a system that will allow me to sign and personalize pre-ordered copies of Carousel Sun. As soon as we have the bugs worked out, I’ll give you the link, and instructions. So, watch the skies. Or the waves. Or, yanno, both.

The Tomorrow Log coming from Audible!

Lee and Miller’s The Tomorrow Log will be available from Audible.com on December 3, 2013, narrated By Kevin T. Collins.

Speaking of Audible. . .

You are of course aware that Every! Liaden Universe®! Novel! in existence can be downloaded as audiobooks from Audible.com. Here’s a link to the whole series.

Speaking of Trade Secret. . .
. . .the eArc is now available in every format known to humankind, direct from Baen. Here’s the link.

Remember that eArcs are uncorrected; expect spelling errors and grammatical atrocities of every stripe and patch; names may morph in the middle of the story; continuity may be found in disarray. You have been warned.

Will there be a Trade Secret Audiobook?
To the best of our knowledge, based on a conversation with Mr. Feldberg of Audible at the BEA — yes, there will be an audiobook edition of Trade Secret, to be released simultaneously with the hardcover, in November.

Speaking of Audiobooks. . .
. . .we have here in our hands the contract for an audio edition of The Tomorrow Log. Details regarding publication date and narrator to come.

Liaden Universe® InfoDump Number 99

Silver Anniversary!
The Liaden Universe® didn’t start out as a Universe; it started out as one book. That book, a quirky little space opera called Agent of Change, was published by Del Rey as a paperback original, in February, 1988.

Which is to say, twenty-five years ago, this February.

But, wait! There’s more!

Not only is February 2013 the Silver Anniversary of the Liaden Universe®, but the sixteenth novel in the Universe, Necessity’s Child, will be released on February 5, in hardcover, signed hardcover, ebook, and audiobook!

Also? Every single Liaden Universe® novel ever written is — at this very instant! — in print, as omnibus, hardcover, trade paper, mass market, ebook, and/or audiobook editions!

Having survived as writers for twenty-five years is an achievement by itself. To have all of our novels in print during that twenty-fifth year is. . .amazing. And humbling.

For those who are planning to attend Boskone, we’ll be hosting a dual Silver Anniversary/Book Launch party there. We’re also mulling over some web celebrations, because really — you’re only in print twenty-five years once.

Help Build a Liaden Universe® Party Game
We would like to have available at least one Liaden-themed party game for the Big! Boskone Liaden Bash! Since there’s not likely to be enough space in the room to set up a Sticks table (never mind that I don’t think Massachusetts law allows payouts), and competition knife-throwing is right out, we thought we’d have a basket full of quotations/brief passages available. The idea would be that a partier would pick up a piece of paper out of the basket, read the quote aloud, and the first person who identifies the book/story from which the quote is taken and/or the character speaking will win the adoration of the rest of the party goers. Rumor is that we may have prizes available to us, so there exists the chance of a quote-off, also.

So! We need your help. Post your favorite quote and source (note: I will really need the entire quote as it appears in the novel/story and the source) here.

The link takes you to a moderated forum. That means that a human being must clear your comment, so it may not appear immediately. Never fear, it will appear eventually.

Let the games begin! And thank you for your help!

About that 16th Novel in the Liaden Universe®
Signed copies of Necessity’s Child are available for pre-order from Uncle Hugo’s SF Bookstore in Minneapolis (they do mail order! worldwide!) — here’s your link — and from your favorite online and indie bookstores.

Also! There will be an audiobook edition released concurrently with the hardcover, on February 5, from Audible.com. Here’s that link.

And, of course, the ebook edition is available (as has always been the case) in multiple formats (including ePub/Nook) from Baen — and, additionally, in Kindle format from Amazon.com.

Also Available from Uncle Hugo. . .
Signed copies of the hardcover editions of Ghost Ship and Dragon Ship. Use this link, and scroll down.

Liaden Story on Baen Website! Mark your Calendars!
On Tuesday, January 15 (holy cheese! That’s four days from now!), short story “Eleutherios” will be posted on the Baen website below the fold (just scroll down a little; you’ll find it — in fact there’s a story by Wen Spencer up there right now, so you could practice, just to be sure you’ve got the technique down). The story may be read for free — no donations, no log-ins, no sign-ups!

The Liaden Wiki Needs You!
Friend of Liad Gus Fleischmann took the initiative, and gathered the enormous amount of Liaden information that was all in pieces all over the web into the Liaden Wiki: http://liaden.wikia.com/wiki/Liaden_Wiki

The wiki is meant as a resource for readers (and for authors, too).

The material Gus gathered needs to be ordered, proofread, tweaked — and added to! — and for that, we need you. Please consider pitching in.

Thank you!

Publication Schedule
January 15: “Eleutherios,” short story, Baen front page
February 5: Necessity’s Child, hardcover, signed hardcover, ebook, audiobook
July 2: Liaden Universe® Constellation, Volume 1, tradepaper, ebook
August: Essay in Dragonwriter: A Tribute to Anne McCaffrey and Pern, Benbella Press
August 27: Dragon Ship, mass market
November 5: Trade Secrets, hardcover, ebook
January 5, 2014: Liaden Universe® Constellation, Volume 2, tradepaper, ebook

Delivery Schedule
February 14: Carousel Sun (contemporary fantasy by Sharon)
August 15: Carousel Seas (contemporary fantasy by Sharon)
May 15, 2014: First of Five Liaden Universe® novels
February 15, 2015: Second of Five Liaden Universe® novels
November 15, 2015: Third of Five Liaden Universe® novels
August 15, 2016: Fourth of Five Liaden Universe® novels
May 15, 2017: Fifth of Five Liaden Universe® novels

…please be aware that the above are turn-in dates; the publisher sets the publication dates and they are, therefore, A Mystery. One thing that we can say definitively is that the publisher will not publish any of the above novels before they’ve been turned in.

A Reminder About Those Five Liaden Novels. . .
. . .referenced above. Those five books, in their entirety, comprise the “sequel” to Dragon Ship. Yes, it IS complicated.

Where in the World Are Lee and Miller?
Boskone, February 15-17, 2013, Boston (http://www.nesfa.org/boskone/)

At this point, Steve and Sharon have no plans to attend either WorldCon nor DragonCon in 2013.

Liaden Universe® InfoDump No. 98

CUSTOMER SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: DRAGON SHIP
Several readers have reported that, after being strung along for weeks, their orders for signed editions of Dragon Ship have been cancelled.

If your order was one of those cancelled, we apologize for the frustration and disappointment this has very likely caused. Should you still wish a signed copy, Uncle Hugo’s SF Bookstore in Minneapolis has signed copies in stock. They do mail order, worldwide. You may order from this page (you will have to scroll down)

NECESSITY’S CHILD NEWS
The electronic advance reading copy of Liaden Universe® novel Necessity’s Child (the book formerly known as George) is now available for download here.

Earcs are unedited editions; they will contain errors. To answer a frequently asked question: Yes, Lee and Miller receive royalties on eArc sales.

Not sure you want to go for the eArc? Baen has also provided the first nine chapters, which may be read for free, starting here.

For those who prefer paper books, Necessity’s Child will be published in hardcover in February 2013. Signed editions will be available from the bookstore of your choice. Uncle Hugo’s is accepting pre-orders here.

Also expected in February, the audiobook edition of Necessity’s Child, from Audible.com

AND! In January, look for a new short story on the Baen website, free to read!

DEADLINES, WE HAVE THEM
Herewith, the Lee and Miller (and Lee) delivery dates for the next while.

Trade Secrets (Liaden). . . . . . January 9, 2013
Carousel Sun (Archers Beach). . . . . . February 15, 2013
Carousel Seas (Archers Beach). . . . . . August 15, 2013
First of Five (Liaden). . . . . . May 15, 2014
Second of Five (Liaden). . . . . . February 15, 2015

Fourth of Five (Liaden). . . . . . August 15, 2016
Fifth of Five (Liaden). . . . . . May 15, 2017

For clarity, a small review of terms:

“Delivery date” means the date on which a particular manuscript is due to arrive on the editor’s desk.

“Publication date” is the date on which a book is scheduled to be published.

These two things are not the same. Publishers (wisely) tend not to set publication dates in stone until the manuscript has been delivered. A good rule of thumb is to figure that a particular title will be published nine months to a year after delivery.
