We're pleased to announce that, through the perseverance of our agent and the goodwill of folks who recently suffered a great loss, the first ten Liaden Universe novels will be appearing as Baen ebooks <http://www.baen.com/>. The novels will initially be released in two, five-book electronic omnibi, with the first volume, /Korval's Legacy/, currently expected to go on sale in approximately mid-February.
We want to thank all of you who have given us suggestions, both for Baen and for other ebook publishers; let us say that we diligently explored a number of possibilities and will be quite happy to have our Liaden novels available electronically once again. We think you ebook fans will be as pleased as we are.
As soon as we have final pricing and firm release dates we'll use the InfoDump network to share the news.
*Mark your calendars: The first chapter of /Fledgling/ goes live on Monday, January 22*
In InfoDump #57, we announced the serialization of the brand-new, not-even-written-yet Liaden Universe novel, Fledgling <http://www.korval.com/fledgling>. At that time, we said that the first chapter, which will be posted at noon EST on Monday, January 22, will be free for all to read, but that the posting of subsequent chapters will depend on the interest of readers. For every $300 donated, we would post another chapter, but in no case more than one chapter per week.
Well, Fledgling is now funded *through chapter 14*, which is scheduled to be posted on April 30.
That's right, thirteen chapters funded and Chapter One won't go live for another ten days.
You guys are *awesome!*
*Liaden Universe Companion, Volume Two*
Advance subscriptions are now being taking for /Liaden Universe Companion, Volume Two/, scheduled for an August release from SRM Publisher, Ltd.
This project will collect *Changeling, Phoenix, Heirloom, Naratha's Shadow, Veil of the Dancer, Quiet Knives, This House, Lord of the Dance, Sweet Waters...* in one full-size hardcover/trade paper volume.
However, the success of the project depends on you. Pre-subscribers will not only get their books signed, but they will have the warm, fuzzy feeling of knowing that they have contributed to the publication of this volume, and that it would not have happened without them.
The Ace edition of /Crystal Soldier/ will be on the shelf of your favorite bookstore on February 27.
Meisha Merlin is scheduled to release the trade paper edition of /Crystal Dragon/ on February 15.
Look for /The Tomorrow Log/ in mass market *from Meisha Merlin* realsoonnow.
