I have THE SILVER METAL LOVER by Lee, which I consider the best
SF love story........... ;-}

However, I tried to order DON'T BITE THE SUN and DRINKING SAPPHIRE
WINE a day or two ago, and my friendly local bookstore has never
heard of it!  Help!  Is it out of print?

Are you sure?  I read LYCANTHIA a while back, and I just bought
THE GORGON.  I don't remember any similarities between the novel
and any of the short stories.

Actually, a lot of her work is in the style of LYCANTHIA.  As
I think I've pointed out before, she is primarily a sword/sorcery
writer.  Try her first novel, BIRTHGRAVE.
