Calling Liaden Fans: Eyes, Please!

[rolanni]

So, we've sold a Big Chunk o'Liaden Universe® stories to a publisher who wishes to list them in universe order in their catalog so that their buyers won't be confused by picking up something in the middle of a sequence (cue laugh track).

kinzel and I have put our poor aching heads together and come up with the following list-in-order, but we're not sure we've got it right. (Note to new authors: In your records, number the stories you write in a consistent universe, if any, so you don't have to go through these head-breakers when you've suddenly got 200,000 words of short stories placed. No, scratch that. Write the stories and have a blast. Worry about the silly paperwork when it arrives in the mail.)

Anyhow, the list is below. Stories marked with ** are anchors. Stories [bracketed] must stay together.

**Necessary Evils**
Naratha's Shadow
Where the Goddess Sends
Spell for the Lost
Wine of Memory
Balance of Trade
Sweet Waters
Phoenix
Pilot of Korval

[Choice of Weapons
Beggar King]

Heirloom
To Cut an Edge

[A Day at the Races
Certain Symmetry]

Veil of the Dancer

[A Matter of Dreams
Moonphase]

Changeling
Quiet Knives
Breath's Duty
Lord of the Dance
Prodigal Son
**King of the Cats**

If anyone spots any dire misplacements, please do let me know.

Thanks!
