Neogenesis and Degrees of Separation out, MidSouthCon coming up
January has been a busy month for Friends of Liad, with Neogenesis debuting strongly in hardback (also available as an audiobook and in a kindle edition) — including reaching the Bookscan bestseller lists — after the January 2 release from Baen and then the new Lee and Miller novella Degrees of Separation, out from Pinbeam, spending several days at #2 on Amazon’s rankings —
#2 in Kindle Store > Kindle Short Reads > Two hours or more (65-100 pages) > Science Fiction & Fantasy
The authors are currently hard at work on the still unnamed next Liaden hardcover, due to be turned in this spring after their visit to Memphis as Guests of Honor at MidSouthCon March 9-11 .
Later this year plans are for Lee & Miller to travel to WorldCon — that’s WorldCon 76, in San Jose, CA, August 16-20th.

Spoiler Thread for Neogenesis
Neogenesis, by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller, the 21st novel in the Liaden Universe®, is available as an eArc, that is an electronic advanced reading copy at Baen. eArc are basically the page proofs of the novel — they typically do have errors, and — this time, at least — y’all can have the extra fun of reading Neogenesis while Steve and I are proofing that same file to get it read for setting as a final book.
A spoiler thread has been created for those who have read the eArc and wish to discuss it with like-minded, and like-read people.
CLICK HERE to access the Spoiler Discussion for Neogenesis.
Please remember that not everyone downloads the eArc; many people wait for the publication of the hardcover — in the case of Neogenesis, that is January 2018 — and many other people wait for the mass market — our best guess, sometime in 2019.
Thank you.
NEOGENESIS eARC available for download
For them what indulges, the eARC of Neogenesis, by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller — the 21st Liaden Universe®! — is now available for download (and reading, natch).
