Skylar Madison wasn't like every other soon to be high school graduate. As all the other girls she knew were planning their lives at the college of their choice, Skylar was having her life planned out for her. She belonged to one of, if not the, biggest crime family known ran by her grandfather. Her parents had no choice other than to be assassins for the company and she has no choice. This wasn't the life she had dreamed of. Living a life of kill or be killed is not what any child dreams of. She dreamed of having a family and being normal. She had to follow the rules or she risked learning the consequences of being disobedient. Could she possibly get out? Had she came up with the perfect plan to get out of the life she never wanted or was it a death sentence to even try?
Steve Miller
Maine-based writers Sharon Lee and Steve Miller teamed up in the late 1980s to bring the world the story of Kinzel, an inept wizard with a love of cats, a thirst for justice, and a staff of true power.
In the decades since, until Steve's death in 2024, the Lee-and-Miller writing team published over 100 works of fantastic fiction, the majority set in their genre-bending Liaden Universe(R), demonstrating their shared philosophy that fiction ought to be fun--both the reading and the writing of it.
During their long and storied career, Steve and Sharon were celebrated as guests of honor at more than two dozen science fiction conventions across the country and were also frequent panelist and featured speakers.
Their awards include the Prizm for Best Futuristic Romance, The Golden Duck for Best YA SF, the Reader's Choice Award for the Year's Best Military and Adventure SF of 2017, and the Edward E. Smith Memoria Award for Imaginative Fiction (the Skylark).
Sharon is continuing to work in the universe she and Steve built together.
