Originally published at Sharon Lee, Writer. You can comment here or there.

Not only was Web of the Trident never published, it was never written. Therefore, no -- we have no plans to publish it via Webscriptions or through any other medium. Also -- and this seems very, very difficult for readers to understand, so it must be a Writer Thing with which we can only ask you to have patience -- because Web was being (not) written during the (very traumatic and very expensive (and I'm not just talking about money, here)) meltdown of Meisha Merlin, it's unlikely to ever be written. It has Terrible Associations and Bad Karma splattered all over it; I can't even bear to think about opening the file.

This is an "uncounted" cost of the MM disaster - and another reason why books are not like widgets.

We are very sorry to disappoint the legions of Gem's readers, and hope that some of them, at least, can find solace and even satisfaction in the newer Lee and Miller works that have been, and will be, coming out from Baen and from SRM, Publisher.

Today, we followed the Plan, the Plan being: Arise early, and yet not too early, don clothing appropriate to the day and hour and hit the Butchers Block in Fairfield for breakfast. Having eaten well, and yea verily caffeinated, too, we removed to SRM Galactic Headquarters, there to sign a quarter-zillion books. This small task accomplished, we to Shaw's and then Hannaford to do some modest hunting and gathering before returning home to the Cat Farm, there to dispose fitly of the Subway sandwich that we had likewise hunted and gathered, and so to our scattered computers went.

Steve is still working. I finished Chapter Eight, found a quote for the top of Chapter Nine and got set up for tomorrow's labor among the vines: Big tea party, very posh, lots of poisonous chit-chat -- you know I want to be fresh for that.

For those who have opinions on favorite -- and not-so-favorite -- series, Laura Anne Gilman, our own suricattus, talks about continuity matters here (and with a nice nod to the Liaden Universe®).

The weatherbeans are still calling a Big Storm Sunday afternoon into Monday morning, with a total accumulation of 8-12 inches. I hope it's true this time, 'cause I could sure use not going in to work on Monday.

For now, I guess I'd better make myself some kind of useful and do the dishes.

SRM Publisher, Ltd. has taken the Big Jump onto Live Journal. We're still decorating the place, but everyone's welcome to stop over to srmpublisher.

In honor of Steve's (aka Elan Neruda's) talk at the Second Annual Second Life Book Fair, fairgoers were able to download a discount coupon at the SRM Publisher booth, said coupon being good for one free copy of The Tomorrow Log mass market paperback (a $6.99 value!), plus postage.

There are still some promotional copies of The Tomorrow Log mass market available, entering coupon code SLBF2008 at check-out will get you that free book or -- it will give you a $6.99 discount on any book in the SRM catalog.

Just to tempt you: There are only about 400 copies of Liaden Universe Companion Volume One in mass market left, and SRM does have in stock Meisha Merlin editions of Partners in Necessity, Plan B, The Tomorrow Log, Balance of Trade, and, of course, chapbooks Dragon Tide, Necessary Evils, Calamity's Child and many more. That's a lot of good reading -- and a discount, too!

Allies: Adventures in the Liaden Universe (R) Number 12 is now closed for pre-orders.

It will be available as a regular item in the SRM catalog on Monday, November 20.

Thank you all. I'm amazed and humbled by your generosity.
