Bibliography and awards

INEVITABLY, STORIES ARE OFTEN OF THEIR TIME; they serve a purpose, and then can become outdated. So many of the stories listed below are either out of print, or have become incorporated into other collections. But if there is interest in any of them, the publisher can be contacted – or the local library.
