In this, as in everything else, Sturgeon's Law applies! 90% of everything is crud, to paraphrase...
They did not. They were first published by Ace in 1988/1989. After Ace dropped them in the mid-list crash, they started self publishing stories and didn't pick back up with a publisher until 1999 when Meisha Merlin picked up Plan B. Some time after the death of Meisha Merlin Baen picked them up.
