NEW CRYSTAL DRAGON SNIPPET UP AT MEISHA MERLIN

For those who enjoy teasers, Meisha Merlin has upped the stakes by another 1,100 words (about four manuscript pages) at http://www.meishamerlin.com/CrystalDragonBookTwooftheGreatMigrationDuology.html

An in-page search on "Two" or "Spiral Dance" should get you to the beginning of the new material.

Meisha Merlin is also *now taking pre-orders* for signed _Crystal Dragon_ hardcovers. As in years previous, Sharon and Steve will only be signing the first 750 pre-ordered books. An early order will insure that your book will be signed.

The rest is

LIADEN UNIVERSE(R) COMPANION VOLUME ONE UPDATE

We have achieved cover art and it is beautiful! For a peek, and to pre-order your book, go to http://www.korval.com/lucomp1.html

_Liaden Universe Companion Volume One_ will be published in early September (that's in just a couple months!). All pre-ordered books will be signed by the authors. There will be a *limited number of hardcovers printed*, so if you must have a hardcover, the course of prudence is to pre-order.
