Steve and I have been ignoring Splinter Universe as we took care of some other things, professional and private, that had kind of gotten piled up.

We’re still super busy, and can’t promise a story every week, or even every month, but! we couldn’t let the Summer Solstice go by without giving y’all a beach story.

This one’s set in Surfside, the next town up from Archers Beach, familiar to those of you who’ve read Carousel Tides* — and every word is absolutely true!

Of course.

Here’s your link to Emancipated Child.

Enjoy! And if you like the story, please consider donating by clicking the PayPal button at the bottom of the page.

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.

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.
