But yeah, there needs to be more. I'm hoping for a Totally Complete Adventures of Maureen Birnbaum, Barbarian Swordsperson, myself. |
Yeah, i have the Baen stuff for sure...gobbled that up soon as I found it...
I once emails one of the Effinger fan sites and basically was told the same bummer story of other favorite writers of mine, for example Edward Abbey, that the estate/rights holder is either refusing to make the work available or nobody really knows who owns the rights or the rights holder wants an insane amount of cash for the rights. I wish an agile company like Baen could make it their goal to try and get some of these neglected authors works...
BTW, I was never even aware of the Barbarian Swordsperson works...THANKS, another set of stories I won't read before I croak.
Oh, if you ever find them I really recommended The Callahan Chronicles by Spider Robinson as well as the other associated stories, save for Callahan's Legacy as it has a rather unfunny segment that amounts to child molestation that was totally not needed in the story so I suspect Spider was telling people something there...
Anyway, sorry to Simon for the mini-jack of his thread!!! d'oh!!
In the mean time, I have d/l'd Simon's TAG and can't wait to read it...thanks to him for that being out there to try out!!
EDIT: Oh, wow, I just realized that you mentioned Budayeen Nights was on FW...that's new since my last visit to FW...just added it to my Kindle...weeee...
