This post inaugurates something new: sharing my reading with you all. To begin, here’s what I read last year. It’s undated, unfortunately, but it is in order-read.

You will note that there are a great many titles by Sharon Lee & Steve Miller. This is by design. I went on a Liaden Universe® re-read jag, determined to read! everything! Liaden! I didn’t finish by the end of the year, but I am very close now, with only one title left, their latest, Salvage Right.

You might also notice that my novels are all listed. I actually needed to re-read them to get some things fresh in my mind while working on Outcaste. “Sunshot” is an unpublished short story (non-Tolari) that I polished up to start shopping around, but I needed to READ it first. So far, it’s garnered me several rejections one of which arrived on January 1st, which was, it must be admitted, a very inauspicious start to 2024. Well. I guess that editor REALLY hated it.
