ouch!
SRM PUBLISHER IS HAVING
A NO-COUPON INVENTORY CONTUSION SALE
Steve Miller here, chief book wrangler at SRM Publisher
I was moving boxes around to make some room and found out that some boxes were
mislabeled -- so we have more of some things and less of others than we thought.
I also proved that boxes piled in the wrong order will fall and bruise you --
and hence this sale.
Striving for balance, and to make room for the 1200 copies of Saltation we'll be processing
in SRM Publisher's office space RSN, I dove into the inner workings of our
SRM Publisher catalog
and since I didn't feel like making (and keeping track) of coupons I eyeballed piles of books
and changed prices in the database.
Some of these prices will change back when the sale is over and some will just go away because
we'll be out of those particular books!
Some books have been reduced by 50%, some by $9.95
Special? How About Liaden Universe Companion Volume 2 -- in hardback -- for $15.00?
How about 50% off selected chapbooks?
How about the huge Partners in Necessity at $15.00 -- save $8.95!
There's more, but you'll have to see for yourself. And if we run out of these special books...
they're gone!
Really, the time is now --
help me make room for 40 cases or so -- 1200 copies --
of Saltation...
and let me empty out these boxes without rebalancing them.
I promise you, our No-Coupon Inventory Contusion Sale means you don't have
to hunt all over creation for special numbers or letter, and I don't have to watch for
tiny ticky boxes with secret meaning!
And this sale is absolutely easy for all of us and absolutely
over when it is over
Thanks!

The Cat’s Job
2010 Special Edition
What is the Cat’s Job?
Some say a cat’s job is to be decorative. Some say it is to slay vermin. Some say a cat ought to earn his or her keep, and some think cats are mere pets. Some folks are dog people, but we don’t need to talk too much about them here.
In this chapbook we look at a cat mayor at work, talk about cats as people, and share several fictional pieces dealing with the place of cats and their people in the universe at large.
The Cat’s Job has been one of SRM Publisher’s most popular titles since 2002, and now Sharon Lee and Steve Miller have added a rarely seen 1979 collaborative effort as well as a timeline of the household they call The Cat Farm and Confusion Factory, with special reference to Blueblaze Sphinxian Hexapuma, the cover cat. Enjoy!
Special Note:
$5 of the cover price goes to help defray the cost of Hexapuma's recent ear surgery & other Cat Farm feline expenses
More action here soon!

FROM HALFLING MOON, BY SHARON LEE AND STEVE MILLER
Hidden Resources
The ship was still there, hanging just inside the sensors’ range. Not a ship of the Clan, certainly; nor yet the ship of an ally, the captain of which would have been given the pass-codes, hailing protocols, and some understanding of the capabilities of this, Korval’s most secret and secure hidey-hole.
This ship. . .This ship only sat there, making no attempt at contact, seeming to think itself both hidden and secure – watching.
Waiting.
The urgent question being – waiting for what?
Moon On The Hills
Surebleak
What exactly his visitors had been doing he didn’t know – they’d called out hullo and whoha whoha a few times, like they didn’t know if the place was empty – and one of them called out “Captain Shaper” twice, and that made no sense since Grampa had been dead for so long Yulie could hardly remember his face sometimes without looking at the image files. Likely someone had the house-spot listed somewhere as a leasehold to the dead company, but heck, that was so far back it shouldn’t matter to no one. They’d called his name once or twice too, he thought, but by then he’d been moving away and it might just as well have been a trick of the wind.
