These stories have never been published and never will be,
except on www.poppyzbrite.com. Some of them are stories that
were rejected before I made my first sale; some I never even
tried to sell; one is just a fragment of particular interest
to fans of my characters Ghost and Steve. I'm making these available
not because I think they are some sort of lost masterpieces
(far from it), but because they may give readers a look at how
my fictional voice developed -- or may just give hope to unknown,
discouraged writers who'll say "Wow! If she wrote that piece
of shit in 1984 and got published in 1985, maybe I have a chance
too!" In other words, these are just for fun. Please read them
in that spirit.
