I wanted first to say, I love your books and have several copies of all the Liaden books (to include e-books). I am also a huge fan of you making money selling books because then you might just keep writing them! I'm ignorant on the subject of "orphans" in general, but I did want to mention that I have expended a moderate amount of effort trying to find one book from my yout. The book was Star Ship on Saddle Mountain by Atlantis Hallam, and I can't find any indication he left heirs with any knowledge of the book. A couple of copies ranging $250-$750 are floating around, but that's it. From an author's perspective having singletons out there like this may be considered the price the public pays for having a system that in general works, but I did want to mention there are some (if not heartbreaking, then) sad exceptions.
