Thank You.

JHEREG was published first because I wrote it first.  Furthermore,
when I wrote it, I had no idea anyone was going to want to actually
PUBLISH it.  I mean what?  Me?  I'm sorry you feel JHEREG gives away
surprises.  Those were supposed to be teasers.  Anyway, the order
of books to date (and future) is:
		JHEREG
		TO REIGN IN HELL
		YENDI
		BROKEDOWN PALACE (Jan. '86)
		TECKLA (In progress).

Chronologicaly, the order is as follows:
		EASTERNER (maybe 1990???)
		YENDI
		JHEREG
		TECKLA
It is possible there will be others (and not certain EASTERNER will
be written) depending on whether I feel there is anything worthwhile
to write about these characters.

Thanks for asking.
