So, it’s the time of year when people ask writers what they saw published in the current year.
There are a couple of reasons for this. One is that books make great gifts! and we’re coming up on a gifting time of year.
The other is that some folks read for and nominate in the various awards that are floating about. The end of the year is coming up right briskly, and they want to make sure that they’ve read as widely as possible.

That said, follows the list of What Lee-and-Miller published in 2023:

Not a long list, but quality counts.
For those who are thinking in the direction of gift-giving to readers who may need some sarcasm, hope, and good triumphing over evil in their lives, not to mention cats, norbears, and sentient trees, we cannot recommend the novels and stories set in the Liaden Universe® enough.
There are 25 novels published in the Universe, which may sound . . . overwhelming. However! There are arcs within the Universe, which may be more manageable. A brief list of those arcs, with titles listed in order, is below.
