Trade Secret reminder

[rolanni]

Signed copies of Trade Secret, by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller, the sequel to 2004's smash Liaden hit, Balance of Trade are now available for pre-order from Uncle Hugo's.

Here's the synopsis:

Jethri Gobelyn is unique; he's a Terran adopted into a Liaden trading clan. Under the tutelage of Master Trader ven'Deelin, he has achieved his license to trade in Liaden space. Not all Liadens are thrilled by this, or convinced by Master ven'Deelin's insistence that Liadens and Terrans must learn to trade together.

But, Jethri isn't only unique because of his adoption and penchant for trade; he's also the son of a far-seeing Terran trader, now deceased, the author of a secret Envidaria -- a plan that could change the face of galactic trade, forever. Ruthless people are willing to kill to obtain the Envidaria, in order to suppress it, or to use it for their own profit.

And it's up to Jethri Gobelyn, a man who is both Liaden and Terran, to protect the Envidaria, and to decide how -- or if -- to use the information it contains.

It is such a long time to November 5th.

Trade Secret and your "world" tour

Is your tour occurring before Trade Secret is released? I was planning on coming over to Burlington MA and getting a signed version (without that annoying "Signed Edition" printed on the dust cover and covering up the artwork circle) but it looks like you will be there on the 2nd and Trade Secret isn't officially released until the 5th.
Thanks, Jeanne

The books are already printed; we got our authors' copies last week. They won't be in stores until November 6, but they will be available for our tour. It'd be kinda silly, really, to do a book tour in support of the new book, without having the new book on hand.

I was horrified at how, um, ugly that was, when I first saw a pre-signed book. A lot of folks like 'em though.
