How did you discover ... ?

I also belong to Liad. This mailing list of the Liaden Universe run
by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller who wrote "Agent of Change", and "I Dare"
among many others.  *Wonderful* books.  They are right up there with
Steves books on my comfort shelf.  The Dragaera list was mentioned
there.  Seeing as how Jhereg is one of favorite books of all time, I
hoofed it over here as fast as I could type.  :)

P.S.  If you are interested in Liad, a note to Mr. Deagauss at
	deagauss at korval.com will get you started.
