Back in 1998, after they had moved to Maine and seen the first death of their writing careers, Sharon Lee and Steve Miller were invited as Guests of Honor to SiliCon 3.0 in Silicon Valley. After the organizers managed to convince the authors that, yes indeed, they did have the right authors, Lee and Miller declared SiliCon to be the First Stop on the Liaden Universe® World Tour.
Friend of Liad Angela Gradillas, who designed the Korval Tree-and-Dragon logo, worked at the time in the graphics section of a signage company. She designed and created a World Tour Banner, which is still in use today.
Since that First Stop, many years ago, the Liaden Universe® World Tour has touched down in nearly 50 conventions, many of which have hosted Lee and Miller as Special Guests or Guests of Honor, as well as dozens of libraries and bookstores.
