Maeve Solo Universe

Maeve Solo Universe was a Star Wars fan-created, alternate universe series by Chris Callahan. 
Its focus was an original character named Maeve Solo who is Han Solo's mother. Maeve, and her partner, Nila, work her freighter ship called "The Merlin."
The character was Callahan's persona. Another character in this universe, "Dyannis Carmathan," was also a persona, but instead for the fan L.C. Wells. 
The Maeve Solo stories take place over a long period of time and were not necessarily published in chronological order. 
For instance: In "Ghosts" (1983) Han Solo (and his twin sister, Val) are young children in the care of her own mother, Aine. From "Ghosts" in Contraband #1: 
In "Return" (1983), Han is a grown man. That story's description from a flyer:
