kinzelLong ago and far away, last Friday in fact, I wrote about the possibility of a $9.99 or $10.00 Liaden Universe Companion Number One, in an unstrippable mass-market-sized package.
Monday, I held a UPS-delivered bound proof in my hands, complete with a typo on the spine... sigh. Responses here in Journeyman seem about 20 to 1 in favor of the idea, and so I'm in the process of fixing the typo, straightening a bit of interior type, and the like ... and ordering the ISBN. Once Bowker admits I am heard, I'll be able to get the rest of those things in train and we'll be in gear. After that, I look toward a compilation of some Lee and Miller non-Liaden stories for SRM.
If you've ordered Liaden Universe Companion #2, please read what's behind the cut below, which is an unfilled in version of the letter I am slowly getting out to folks who pre-ordered. I'm putting it here because a number of folks ordered from Earthlink and other anti-communication ISPs and I'm not going to jump through their permissions hoops one more time, no sir.

Dear (Your name Here in Lights, if you like),
Steve Miller, here, wearing my SRM Publisher Ltd. hat. This message is being emailed direct from SRM Publisher to let you know that we've experienced some delay in the production of Liaden Universe Companion Volume Two, which we had planned for an August printing and shipping.
While we're doing our best to speed things up we expect this delay to be on the order of 75 to 90 days. While going over our list of orders we've also found some mailing address discrepancies as well as a few double orders, which we hope to rectify in advance.
To make sure we're on the same page:
As things now stand we expect to begin shipping Liaden Universe Companion Volume Two in October, with the likelihood that some later orders may not make it out the door until November. We expect to ship in first in/first out order.
We have (your type and number of LUC2) order for you going to postalcode . If this needs correction or amendment, please reply.
Thank you for you interest, and your patience!
Steve Miller

SRM Publisher Ltd... took a couple unscheduled days off over the weekend after my contact at The Skylark called with the information that they had (unexpectedly) one room open for one night on the weekend. This is very rare... so we packed a small bag when Rolanni came home from the college Friday night and were on the road Oh Very Early Saturday morning so we could catch the high-tide at Old Orchard Beach. I dropped Rolanni and the beach chairs off and circled the town a bit looking for a legal parking space for about a half-hour and finally snarfed one up on Brown Street. We beachwalked and beachwatched for awhile and then the good folks at the Skylark got us into the room more than an hour early. SRM also investigated several offices and retail spots for rent/lease in the area during our stay; and we left late Sunday.
Yesterday I fixed Maryland style crab cakes(hold the whitebread! if it ain't (Ritz or equivalent) crackers, it ain't right!) with Old bay Seasoning for Rolanni's birthday dinner. This morning, off to town early to investigate opportunities in town.
