Yes, you read that right, today is Book Day for the anniversary re-issue of Scout’s Progress! featuring a stunning new cover by Sam Kennedy.

In celebration, we present to you the Authors’ Foreword from the new edition.

Scout’s Progress
Authors’ Foreword

You are holding the more-or-less twentieth anniversary edition of Scout’s Progress, which is something of a shock all by itself.

Scout’s Progress was written in 1993, part of an intended two-book set, featuring two brothers-of-the-heart – Er Thom yos’Galan, whose story was told in Local Custom – and Daav yos’Phelium, whose story is told in this book.

We never expected either book to be published.

Nineteen-ninety-three was . . . an odd time in our lives. We were not at that point working writers, by which we mean that we weren’t selling...

Salvage Right page proofs have landed at the Cat Farm and Confusion Factory!

We hear that here is a possibility of an eARC within the next week or two.

Watch the skies.

Photo of page proofs.  Dragon provided for scale.

For those who partake, the eARC of Salvage Right, Sharon Lee and Steve Miller’s 100th collaborative work, and the 25th book set in their original Liaden Universe®, is now for sale.

Here’s your link.

There will be — repeat!  There WILL BE a Tyop Hunt.

Watch the skies.

Dear Friends of Liad and all the ships in space:

July 4 rolls rapidly toward us and beside being an important celebration for Americans, this July 4 is the official release day for Salvage Right, which you may recall is Lee and Miller’s 25th Liaden novel and 100th collaborative work – so two landmarks with this one!

Two landmarks in one book is certainly cause for celebration, and we want as many people as possible to get the news and join us in the happy dance of accomplishment.

If you’d like to help us get the word out, we’d love to have your help. You may say that there’s nothing you can do, that you’re only a reader, don’t have any important contacts, or any connections.

And you would be wrong.

For example, many of you are well-known to your local librarians — some of you are loc...

Salvage Right, by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller, the 25th novel in the Liaden Universe®, and! our 100th collaboration, drops on July 4 — that’s next Tuesday!

Have you ordered your copy yet? Let me tell you, there’s nothing quite like the thrill of opening your ereader and seeing a new book all lined up and ready to be read.

Not convinced that you want to read Salvage Right? Sure you do; it’s awesome, though we say so, who shouldn’t. Don’t believe us? About 1/3 of the book is available to read FREE at this link, to help you make up your mind.
Already read the eARC or the hardcover mailed from the Uncle?  Consider leaving a review, or talking about the book on your blog, on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or wherever else books are talked about.

Want to talk SPOILERS?  There’s an ongoing reader...

Today is the official release day of the hardcover and ebook editions of Salvage Right, the newest Liaden Universe® novel, by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller.

Below, for your reading pleasure, is a letter we wrote to accompany the eARC sent by Baen to industry professionals, which kind of puts Salvage Right into perspective, in our career, and explains why we’re quite so excited about this release.

Dear Readers,

We hope that 2023 has so far treated you well, and that as it continues to unroll, you will have many opportunities to share happiness, and to celebrate.

We’re writing because we have something to celebrate.

In July, Salvage Right, our one hundredth collaboration, also the twenty-fifth novel set in our original Liaden Universe® will be published...

A couple weeks ago, Ray Routhier from the Portland Press Herald dropped by and talked to us for a bit, admired the artwork and the cats.  His article dropped today, and a very nice one, too.  Here’s the link.

Also!  If you missed the live stream of Lee and Miller’s conversation with John A. Douglas at Author’s Outpost on Friday, that was recorded, and you may view it at your leisure, here.

For those who have been waiting (and waiting and waiting) for the audio edition of Salvage Right (by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller — I’m told we don’t say this enough) — your patience has been rewarded.

Salvage Right, the audiobook is now on sale.
