Welcome to Liad: Clan Korval's Home on the Web

The cover art for Ribbon Dance, by David Mattingly, (novel by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller) has returned home from the Framemakers, in downtown Waterville, and it’s looking fine.  Thank you, David, Roscoe, Ames, Brian and everyone else who made this possible!

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.

“Gadreel’s Folly,” novelette, Chicks in Tank Tops, edited by Jason Cordova, published by Baen Books, January 2023

Salvage Right, novel, published by Baen Books, July 2023

“Interventions,” short story, Solar Flare: Solarpunk Stories, edited by Patricia Bray and Joshua Palmatier, published by Zo...

Here’s the cover art for Ribbon Dance, by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller, their 26th novel set in the Liaden Universe® of their own creating.  Art by David Mattingly.

Ribbon Dance will be published on June 4, 2024.
