STEVE MILLER JOINS SPEAKERS BUREAU
Steve has gotten the nod from the crew at AboutSF to join their speaker's bureau. This will be a great opportunity for him to share his experiences from the academic side of SF.

Kuhn Library's Science Fiction Research Collection, housed at the University of Maryland's Baltimore County Campus, in Catonsville, Maryland. If you need a science fiction speaker, look to AboutSF!
PARTNERS IN NECESSITY GOING BACK TO PRESS
In June, Meisha Merlin will be reprinting Partners in Necessity in both hardcover and trade paper. Partners collects the first three Liaden Universe(R) novels, Conflict of Honors, Agent of Change, and Carpe Diem. The original omnibus was published in 2000, as a limited-run hardcover, and a widely available trade paper, and has since gone out of print. We're delighted to see it coming back!
NEW BLOG IN TOWN
In addition to their Live Journals (Journeyman, and Eagles over the Kennebec), Steve and Sharon are now blogging at Amazon.com. Check into any Lee and Miller book page and take a look!

Date: 2006-02-13 04:01 pm (UTC)I miss conventions almost enough to go to one but I hate not knowing people,being basically shy despite exhibits to the contrary. I met most of the fenish-people I know in Austin at Armidillo Con but I don't really like that con (not enough filking). Attempts to get to know con com et-all and help out only lasted two years so it has been six or so since I have been to any con.
