ARGH!! That's because "Steven Brust, as he'll happily tell you, does not write short stories." [from Gaiman's intro to V&E]. > Point me in the right direction! >> An Act of Contrition >> An Act of Love (with Gregory Frost and Megan Lindholm) >> An Act of Mercy (with Megan Lindholm) >> An Act of Trust >> A Hot Night at Cheeky's The Liavek stories, found in the five volumes editted by Shetterly and Bull. Should be read in order. >> Attention Shoppers _Xanadu_ ed. Yolen >> Calling Pittsburg _Lord of the Fantastic: Stories in Honor of Roger Zelazny_ >> Drift _Space Opera_ ed McCaffrey and Scarborough (not to be confused with the other 6 books with that title). >> Valosag and Elet _Book of Dreams_ ed. Gaiman and someone else >> When the Bough Breaks _The Essential Bordertown_ ed. umm Windling? A good place to get info like this is ISFDB ( www.isfdb.org ) I also use Bookfinder ( www.bookfinder.com ) a lot to get bibliographic info since it covers far more titles, and not just SF. --KG
