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.

I tried that link in Chrome, Firefox, & IE; it didn't work in any of them. I rebooted, and tried again, with still no result. Is the site even still up?

Seems to be down at the moment, along with sharonleewriter, pinbeambooks, and carouseltides. Try again later?

Bummer that they're down, but thanks for the prompt reassurance that it's not my computer.
