And the fourth one, The Language of Power, is out in Kindle format (no DRM, so if you need some other format, just convert it with Calibre.)

Enjoy. I know I will!

For those who miss the days of "Monday, Noon", check out the Splinter Universe. It looks like we can hope for regular "stuff" up on the Splinter. Yippee!

bfisher · 05-06-2014, 08:15 PM

Thanks. The "Code of Honor" splinter was great.

Disappearing Splinters Alert!
Sharon Lee has posted on her blog that Baen has bought a "Liaden Constellation #3" compilation of stories, and therefore the current Liaden stories up on the Splinter Universe are going to be pulled down sooner rather than later. All three stories are excellent, and if you haven't read them, you should go do so. And, of course, leave a donation while you're at it.

Thanks for that head's up!

Glad to hear the there's going to be a #3.

CRussel · 05-28-2014, 08:28 PM

FYI, all. Sharon Lee just posted to the Baen Bar that Carousel Sun, the #2 book in her Maine Fantasy series, will have an audio book version.

Quote:

This Just In. Audible confirms that the CAROUSEL SUN audiobook will be available (sometime in) September. The CAROUSEL SEAS audiobook will be available simultaneously with the print book, January 6, 2015.

There's a new Liaden snippet up on the Splinter Universe. This is a Cantra snippet that didn't make it into the final version of Crystal Soldier. So, enjoy, while we wait impatiently for OneofFive, now officially titled Dragon in Exile. Which is scheduled to be submitted to Madame the Publisher in September. So we can start asking for an eArc about, oh, October 1?

CRussel · 08-20-2014, 03:26 PM

Sharon Lee reports that the next Liaden book, Dragon in Exile will be a September, 2015 release.

bfisher · 08-20-2014, 03:46 PM

Great news. Will Baen be the publisher? I don't see it in their schedule.

Baen's the publisher. Their schedule, at least the one I know about, only lists through January 2015 so far.

Wish it wasn't so far off, but looking forward to it none the less.

Correct. But this was from Sharon via the Baen Bar, where she apparently got it directly from her contact at Simon & Schuster. (S&S handles printing and distribution for Baen, and, to some extent, is the limiting factor to how many books Baen can publish a month.)

So yes, Baen will be the publisher for this, and the next 4 books in the series, all of which are already under contract.

And yes, I want it sooner too, but there it is. Authors are, wonder of wonders, human. And that means that sometimes life intrudes.

bizzybody · 08-20-2014, 06:39 PM

Darn that life! Must be something that can be done about it...

I'll continue to wait patiently for the next book. I'm pretty sure I've collected and read everything else in the Liaden universe.

I was so happy to see September that I missed "1915"
It's that dammed third eye - the one that sees what it wants to see

Well, with any luck at all, we should have an eArc by November or December.
