Saturday morning news

Today is October 1, which means Locus has pubbed its ish, and it is available electronically this morning to those of us who subscribe.

In it, we find that!

1. Alliance of Equals, the 19th novel-length adventure in the Liaden Universe®, Sharon Lee and Steve Miller, owner-operators, appears in the Number Two position on the Locus Bestseller List, snuggled between The Nightmare Stacks, by Charles Stross, and Children of Earth and Sky, by Guy Gavriel Kay.


2. Sharon Lee, Steve Miller, and the self-same Liaden Universe® are the first spotlighted in a new Locus feature about long-running series.  The Spotlight appears on pages 80-81 of my epub edition.

Steve and I thank you all for your support of our work -- and of our cats! -- during this long, strange trip we're on.  And we most especially thank you for your enthusiasm for Alliance of Equals.

Aaaah. Fame.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to grab another cup of coffee so I can vacuum the house before going to work for the day.

Here -- Steve's wandering around the house humming this, so y'all might as well share the earworm with him.  "The Cover of the Rolling Stone," Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show.  Here's your link.
