Various convention news and notes, books and more

First off --

convention news for next year ...

we hope you and a bunch of Liaden fans and readers join us in Naperville for Duckon next June,
where Friend of Liad listmaster Scott Raun is set for Fan Guest of Honor and Sharon and I are to
be the literary Guests of Honor ... it'd be great to have a good-size FoL breakfast.

find more info here .....  http://www.duckon.org/

watch for additional convention news, as soon as we have it.

Meanwhile, some book news: Saltation has cover art! -- see the amazon page for that .. and can already be pre-ordered at a discount.

For a major Liaden Universe® Infodump bunch of news, see --rolanni.livejournal.com/447872.html (also do that if you'd prefer the signed by the author versions of either of the books above...)  some of the news there includes an auction of some of our original typescripts with notes and etc...

EDITED TO ADD THIS CONVENTION NOTE:

There's something funky about that link to Infodump 75 -- try it again? http://rolanni.livejournal.com/447872.html

Incidentally, there's no real indication in the Infodump about how people should order one of those real Fledgling or Saltation. Write to info@srmpublisher.com? Or use the saltation@korval.com address?

Actually, in the Infodump on Sharon's page, this has been there for some time:

Edited to Add: Those interested in adopting a signed book, please contact Sharon at rolanniATkorval.com (where @ replaces AT). Be patient; she's behind on her email again.

Actually, it hasn't been up all that long, and it should've been in the original. I just figure people will remember; we've only been saying this regularly for two years, and they must be as tired of hearing/reading it as I am of saying/writing it.

Wow, that's weird. I thought I just looked at that and didn't see it... hum, I wonder if LJ was doing its little trick of needing to be refreshed. Anyway -- there now in bold, thanks. Maybe just need my eyes checked.
