The Great Migration — (2005-2006) With Steve Miller. Publisher: Centuries in the past, mankind fought a seemingly unbeatable adversary from sector to sector across the Spiral Arm until the war ground to a standstill and the Enemy withdrew. Believing that they had won, the citizens of the galaxy rebuilt. The Inner Worlds, which had escaped the worst of the war’s ravages, became even more insular, while the Rim worlds adopted a free and easy way with law and order. Now, hundreds of years after their withdrawal, the Enemy is back — and this time they’ll be satisfied with nothing less than the extinction of the galaxy.
Sword of Orion — (2005) Publisher: Throughout the Free Galaxy, remnants of the fascistic Oligarchy are working to bring mankind back under their cruel and repressive rule. Sixteen-year-old Jerel Telemon holds the key to the weapon that can tilt the balance toward good or evil. The first book of a multi-book series.
The Naming of Kinzel — (2011) Publisher: Three stories of power, innocence, and magic. Kinzel the Foolish: Meet Kinzel, ‘prentice to Mad Siljan the herb lady. Not quite the village fool. Not quite. And does it take a fool, or a wise child, to bargain with a unicorn? Kinzel the Innocent: Against his master’s — and his own! — expectation, Kinzel has won a wizard’s staff, and, having done so, he can no longer stay in his master’s house. So, he sets to see the world, finding it as wondrous as the world seems to find him. It’s a good life, but it may be a short one, for Kinzel has made powerful enemies. Kinzel the Arbiter: Two wealthy townsmen vie for the affections — and the gifts — of the grey crow. But to whom does the crow belong? That is the question the traveling wise man Kinzel is called upon to decide.
Endeavors of Will — (2011) Publisher: Two decades of fantastic writing. Sharon Lee’s science fiction and fantasy career began in 1980 and since her first professional sale she’s entertained thousands with her carefully crafted fiction. Perhaps best known for the Liaden Universe® stories and novels co-written with Steve Miller, Lee’s solo short fiction is also a treat. Endeavors of Will features eight early short stories — including Balrog Award nominee “A Matter of Ceremony” form Amazing Stories — as well as one of her rare poems. The stories here range from out-and-out adventure to subtle mood pieces. They first appeared in such varied magazines as Star Triad, Amazing Stories, Charles de Lint’s Dragonfields, and Owlflight, as well as Fantasy Book, the SPWAO Showcase, and Times Lost, Worlds Forgotten. If you’re in the market for a highly readable and somewhat unpredictable collection of fantasy and science fiction, with subtle humor, irony, and good story sense, Endeavors of Will by Sharon Lee may well be what you’re looking for! Included in this collection are: Stolen Laughter, The Winter Consort, The Pretender, The Silver Pathway, Stormshelter, The Girl, The Cat and Deviant, A Matter of Ceremony, The Handsome Prince, and the poem Cards.
The Day They Brought the Bears to Belfast — (2012) Publisher: The day the bears came to Belfast, Maine, was a magical one for Katy and her brother, Jeremy. But what if the magic raised that day was… real?
