Sharon Lee and Steve Miller have just finished the first draft of Fledgeling: A Liaden Novel on line, and a sequel is planned. Well, necessary, really. How lovely to watch this approach catch on, and with some of my favorite authors, too!

Lawrence Watt-Evans has finished his second Ethschar book to be written on line, this being The Vondish Ambassador. Be sure to leave a few bucks in the storyteller's bowl so he'll keep doing this.

Attention Folks!

My 1977 Stelling Bellflower Banjo was stolen out of my van this weekend in Norwalk, CT. In addition to the banjo, the thieves took a Fender Twin Head (circa 1972), an Easy Rider pack seat (with effects boxes, cables, sitar bar, etc.), and a 12" Weber speaker in a cream colored Tolex covered cabinet with Oxblood Grill Cover and "Magnatone" across the front.
Any and all information that you may come across out there regarding these items is most appreciated. Please contact Gordon Stone at 802-578-2364 or gordon@gordonstone.com.
Thank You,

As of February 21, 2007 somebody broke into David Morgan's house and studio in Encinitas. Among other things in the robbery, my 1957 Fender Precision Bass and Case was stolen. As that was my burial insurance, I most certainly would like to have it back! Please forward this to all your music friends, music stores, and anybody who might be able to help get it back or could have information. I am attaching photo. The verbal description is: 1957 Fender Precision Bass, Maple Neck, Sunburst finish, Gold anodized pickguard, Serial number ##36995.
