Updated Liaden Universe® catalog page with links to all editions of Cultivar: Adventures in the Liaden Universe® Number 25 and Heirs to Trouble: Adventures in the Liaden Universe® Number 26.

Lots of readers are looking for more Lee & Miller words to read; some will soon find their way here, and some are showing up more often over at the Splinter Universe site. Also — Baen Books has just extended an offer for two more Liaden books from the authors — those contracts are in the works and should result in new books being turned into the editor in 2018 and 2019. Exact publication schedules are subject to change this early in the process.

In the meantime, readers and fans have been asking for ways to show extra support. In the “old days” of the interwebz several Lee & Miller sites had tip jars … and now, given the frequency of the request, Lee & Miller have joined Patreon, where you can offer a dollar or two — or whatever your limit is — each month to help the authors keep things even between royalty periods. Here’s the Lee & Miller Patreon page!

Pinbeam Books will shortly be joining other Lee & Miller creations in having logo items over on our Cafe Press site, Hyperspatial … please feel free to shop and share … Watch for t-shirts, mugs and — well, you know how we get — you might find just about anything with the new logo! The first products ought to be showing up the week of March 22nd.

A reminder that Sharon Lee and Steve Miller will be doing an East Coast book tour in June. Expect them at genreshops and bookstores in Boston, New Hampshire, Albany, Philadelphia and in between. Meanwhile, the prime Lee and Miller info site, korval.com, is experiencing some technical issues and should return to service shortly.

We’ve had a busy couple years here at Pinbeam Books headquarters in the middle of Maine, but until recently you haven’t seen all that many signs of it here on our site.  We’ve been traveling in direct support of new work, and writing that new work, and putting the Pinbeam Books update on the to do list.

Now then, we’ve got a new schedule, and you can expect the updates to be more timely these days. There are some additions here, and if you’re a Nook user, better access to some items previously unlisted. Watch for an expanding linkage to other ebook sources, as well. Change is ongoing — some no longer relevant links will be removed or corrected as time goes on*.

Thanks for coming by — and enjoy.

*More Smashwords links have been updated!

Thanks to the expertise, and labor, of Roseanne Girton, Surfside, Moon’s Honor, and Technical Details are now available from the Smashwords site and will soon be in distribution to Apple, Blio, Kobo, Diesel, Sony, Page Foundry, Library Direct, Baker & Taylor Axis 360, Flipkart, and Oyster.

A note about these books:  They are published as ePubs only.  Also!  They, as all Pinbeam Books eChapbooks are DRM-FREE.  This means that they may be read on/with, if not All The Things, then very many of the things.  To wit, and according to Smashwords:  “Apple iPad/iBooks, Nook, Sony Reader, Kobo, and most e-reading apps including Stanza, Aldiko, Adobe Digital Editions, others.”

Kindle and Nook readers may of course find these eTitles at Amazon and BN, where they are also sold DRM-FREE.

Thank you for your patience while we finished this project.

We’ve added three new eChapbooks to the catalog:  Moon’s Honor:  Adventures in the Liaden Universe® Number 20;  Technical Details:  Adventures in the Liaden Universe® Number 21; and Surfside: Tales of the Fantastic Maine Coast.

Moon’s Honor includes the novelette Moon’s Honor, which was previously published on Splinter Universe, and an original authors’ foreward, “On Casting your Fate to the Moon.”  |Kindle| |Nook|
