Klamath updated again: Look for Klamath, Splinter 4

Steve and Sharon spent several weeks buffing one project (Dragon Ship) and finishing up another (Necessity’s Child) and then fought with an old scanner/software combination until they gave in … and got a new solution, which makes turning old-brown pages of 16 lb newsprint covered in 9-pin dot matrix squiggles into free-flowing electronic pages a heck of a lot easier.

We’ll try to keep up a more or less weekly up-date schedule until our summer travels slow us a bit; in the meantime, right now in fact,
you can go read the latest Klamath installment, right here:

As always, we’re taking donations to support the on-going needs of the Cat Farm’s online projects like splinters for Splinter Universe.

Steve put up the third Klamath piece yesterday.  This one introduces new characters, new setting and new POV.

Here’s the link

Enjoy!

Teaser:  The black pennant snapped jauntily as Miri quick-marched the unit from the shuttle. The pennon was all they were allowed until the local flags came to head them up: they were to expect them in a few hours. In the meantime the large buff crescent with it’s two smaller followers smiled over them as Miri counted 100 paces in a straight line, called a right-ho,marched them 200 more and then called a stand-to with a salute to the shuttle.

The story of Klamath is complex, and as we present it here in Splinter Universe, both unfinished and in disparate and at times conflicting pieces. Our parts in the story came from a piece of back-brain information that filtered through to us while Agent of Change, the first Liaden Universe novel, was in progress. That information was the news that Miri Robertson, Mercenary Soldier, had not always lived a pure and wholesome life and in fact had taken a bit of a detour from the straight and narrow following the the effective destruction of civilization on Klamath, if not before.

 

Steve’s intro here

Jump right to the First! Splinter!

We here at Splinter Universe have decided to try something new and exciting, and host guest stories by other authors, not only to give Lee and Miller a break, but to give you  — yes, you — the chance to discover authors who may have escaped your attention.

As it is no sooner decided than acted upon (ahem), we hereby present March’s Guest Author and Story — Bud Sparhawk and Somewhere, A Sea.

We hope you enjoy this new feature.

 

“The Space at Tinsori Light” has now been collected, with “Intelligent Design,” into eChapbook Legacy Systems:  Adventures in the Liaden Universe® Number 19. 

The chapbook is available in the Nook and Kindle stores and in multiple formats at Smashwords.

Check back for exciting additions to the Splinter area of Splinter Universe!

Because I have rocks for brains, I forgot to say that the two stories which have aged off the site, “Kin Ties,” and “Guaranteed Delivery,” are now available in eChapbook Courier Run, available in the Nook Store, the Kindle Store and at Smashwords.

Pinbeam Books is a useful guide to the eChapbooks, and what’s in each, with a link to each book’s catalog page at BN/Amazon/Smashwords.
