Author's note: 

In reissuing older books, I've updated where feasible, along with making revisions--sometimes extensively. After all, I'm a better writer after nearly 30 years of experience!

If you buy a used paperback copy of these reissues, you will get an outdated version.

During this process, I've decided that some of my earlier books don't merit reissuing, even with changes. This is either because I'm no longer inspired by the premise, or because aspects of the book seem too dated to appeal to current readers. These are the books that I hope will die a mercifully quiet death.
