At least two, and yes.

Ribbon Dance comes out in a few hours.

What I can say is this:  There are three Liaden Universe® novels now under
contract with Baen Books.  I am currently lead on one of those, the sequel to
Ribbon Dance.  In addition, before Steve’s death and the attendant dis- and
re-organizations engendered by that cataclysm, I was making notes for the sequel
to the sequel.  Steve was lead on Trade Lanes, which had become increasingly
difficult for him as his heart slowly failed him.  I may or may not be able,
eventually, to finish Trade Lanes.  If not, another Liaden book will fill the
third slot.

....  Summing up, and realizing that there are no guarantees, it is my intention
to continue to write Liaden books and Liaden stories.  New titles will be
published as by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller, because that will be nothing more
nor less than the truth.
