Let me look it up ... but I remember talking [typing] to you about it. .... Well, I can't find the original email from my agent, and I can't find the original discussion with you. But in 2006 I had a discussion with Ann Sharp, who manages the Marion Zimmer Bradley Trust, and I told her, >Some years ago, Patricia Wrede suggested that Wildside might be >interested in publishing _TIL_.
