According to several of their "About this book" sections they formed a team before 1980, and created Pinbeam Publishing to self-publish their chapbooks while attempting to sell their larger works. Their account of events certainly leaves the impression that without the self-publishing effort, via the 300-baud BBS systems of that pre-Internet era, they could not have achieved the success that they now enjoy.
However, I sit corrected (it's painful to stand at my age). Thanks for filling the gap in my knowledge!
