Hello Judy – welcome to my blog.
An interesting question… the short answer is no except for Mars (A Fate of Dust) which was the first of this set that I wrote. It was, quite rightly, turned down by Analog… it has since be substantially rewritten and is much better for it.
So I asked myself why haven’t I sent the later stories to the bigger markets?
Well, all I’m going to say is that there was an unfortunate incident with Agents of Repair that almost put a stop to me writing science fiction… it had nothing to do with the major markets I hasten to add, but lead me to believe that my writing was rubbish. Thankfully, Jupiter decided to publish the story and the critics loved it.
I don’t think I really got over that incident… maybe I should try the mahor markets again… thanks for the suggestion.

Have you submitted these to some of the larger sci fi markets? They sound interesting! (okay yes, that might delay an anthology).
