Baen's June 1986 list showed up in bookstores in May (early to mid-
May, IMS).

I will also point out that "Aftermaths" appeared in a May 1986 Baen  
anthology. Also, Twilight Zone Magazine published at least one of her  
short stories before the publication of "Aftermaths." Thus, you are  
late.

Despite the peculiar attractions of pedantic particularity, I, 
personally, prefer the "party all month" idea...

Party on, dudes and dudettes.

(Besides, first novels count for more than first short stories.)

Ta, L.
