Curious writer is curious

[rolanni]

One of the interesting things about writing in a large-ish universe for, oh, a quarter-century, is that you're pretty often meeting people who have read your work (or, even more interestingly, haven't read your work), and who have formed opinions about the plot-line, the characters, the theme, the authors' childhoods, and adult proclivities. .
.

That being so, and because  people will say things either to me or within my hearing, I find myself with a question, which I will now throw out to you, the readers of the Liaden Universe®:

What is, in your opinion, the Big Story (also known as the Real Story) of the Liaden Universe® novels?

There are no right answers, or wrong answers.  Curious author is, as advertised above, curious.

I have been following your story line since I bought the 3 original paperbacks back in the 80's (?). I like to read as a major source of entertainment. These stories have been fun and entertaining and I have enjoyed following the characters through both the main books and the fill-in things you have done with the chap books. I really don't form any opinions of the Authors I read. Your life is YOUR life. I admit it is fun to follow your blogs and get a little peak into the lives of someone else who also takes the time to entertain me through their writing. I can read but trust me - I am NOT a writer. Thanks for all your hard work. I will also admit that when a long read author kills off a main character it does affect me a bit.
Hope you and Steve and all the Cats are doing well. Just finished the Necessity's Child E-book and await the continuation of the Korval Clans saga.
Best Wishes. WcM
