A new splinter for the Silver Anniversary

[rolanni]

Steve and I had intended to write a new story for the Liaden Universe® Silver Anniversary, but. . .

The world has been just a little too much with us. Deadlines, real-life matters, including the fact that we -- or at least I -- have been under quite a bit of heavy weather.

So, anyway, the brand-new story went on hold -- after all, this is the twenty-fifth year of the Liaden Universe®; plenty of time to write a new story when the schedule becomes, shall we say, a little less action-packed and filled with excitement?

Still. . .we felt that the occasion of February -- the month in which It All Began, back in 1988, with Agent of Change, and the month that It All Continues, with the publication of Necessity's Child -- we felt that the occasion should be marked in some way.

Which is why we're offering a splinter; the first 12,000-ish words of the Lute and Moonhawk novel we put aside in 1996, meaning to get back to it, someday.

We hope you enjoy it.

Here's the link.

Lovely splinter.

The donation button at the bottom of the story is broken -- returns and error message:

The donation button on the side does work, however, so I was able to show my respect and admiration in a dollar-related way.

Thank you.

And -- argh! for the PayPal button. I do test them before I shout to the world that the page is live.

Should be fixed now. She says, crossing her fingers.
