- Margaret Ball has a book out (through Baen, I believe,) called
- _Flameweaver_. It's an interesting work, but does read like an
- expansion of a novella. The plot/setting/characterizations were about
- a 'B' level (not bad for 1st-timer).

- Agreed. More like committe work than collabboration. :-)
