The simple answer is "No" and several think it's a fine idea -- and some smart publisher ought to do launch such a thing. And that includes me.
New here. What’s an "OP"?

Excuse me for saying this but ALL of the threads on this site wander all over the spectrum. I was just reading a thread about national IDs. Now THAT was remarkable. Talk about animosity!

HorridRedDog does have one good question - Has anyone written to them? info@baen.com

I like Baen books and even though their web site is screwy they do have good prices.

But if they aren’t carrying the books that you want why not write to them and ask them to expand into mystery or whatever?
