He dreamt of cards \u2013 he often did so now, though he had little enough to do with such things, waking, nor ever had.<\/em><\/p>\n

The cards he dreamt were no mere lordling’s favored gambling deck, painted and illuminated by the skilled hand of the court’s current darling. Nay, these \u2013 these cards were …alive…. aware. As if each scene were a window cut into a living world, each different, alluring \u2013 each dangerous, as the world is, dangerous; each realized in fey perfection.<\/em><\/p>\n

Want the rest?\u00a0 Check out The Cards of Fortunate Destiny<\/a><\/p>\n

Also added a Splinters intro page<\/a><\/p>\n

What the Heck is a Splinter Universe?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Glad you asked.\u00a0 Splinter Universe is a new short story feature site from Sharon Lee and Steve Miller.\u00a0 We’ll be posting stories on an irregular basis, along with teases, character sketches and perhaps the occasional cartoon.\u00a0 Some, even most, of the stories will be based in Sharon and Steve’s Liaden Universe\u00ae.\u00a0 However, the authors reserve the right to post a story set elsewhere, and to introduce new characters and situations.<\/p>\n

First story in the line-up is “Kin Ties.”\u00a0 I’d tell you more, but it’s still being written.\u00a0 What I can tell you is that it concerns the affairs of a dead man, his wife, and the child of a bitter enemy.<\/p>\n

Oh, and in case you like this idea, we will admit that the more interest we see in the projects we share here, the more likely we are to spend our time and energy here, too.<\/p>\n

If you’d like to share the URL, that’s great. If you want to send us a dollar, that’s good, and if you want to send us $5 a month, or $1 a week, we promise you they’ll all go to the cause of keeping us fulltime writers.
