KIN RIGHT
The twenty-eighth Liaden Universe® novel has been turned in. KIN RIGHT is the direct sequel to SALVAGE RIGHT (2023) and also to DIVINER'S BOW, as Shan crosses storylines to finally arrive at Korval's spacestation as directed by his delm, um, three books ago.

Baen has tentatively scheduled publication of this title for "Spring 2027," exact date to be determined.

THE STATE OF THE CONTRACT
There are two more Liaden novels under contract with Baen Books, now that KIN RIGHT has been turned in.

THE FEY DUOLOGY
The rights to DUAINFEY and LONYEYE returned to Lee and Miller several years ago, and it was the intention of the authors to let them lie. However, there have been recent requests that these two titles be made available, which is, among other considerations, A Teaching Moment. It's now my intention to re-issue DUAINFEY and LONGEYE as an e-omnibus, available through Baen and Smashwords. The books will be released as they were always intended to be released -- under a pseudonym -- and will include a introduction from Sharon Lee.

FROM THE MAILBAG
1 Why do we have to wait a WHOLE YEAR for KIN RIGHT?
Because that's how trad publishing works. Baen has other authors and other books in queue ahead of KIN RIGHT, which will be dealt with in its turn.

2 Will there be more Liaden books after this contract is fulfilled?
It's my intention to continue writing for as long as I am able to write and there are characters who want me to tell their stories. So, that's a "Yes, Goddess willing."

CONVENTION APPEARANCES
Sharon Lee does not plan to attend any conventions in 2026.
