I've gotten back into fantasy fiction lately and have read Swan Wars, Fire and Ice, and Sword of truth, and am looking for suggestions for more like these until the latest and greatest come out. Any help out there? Thx

239 stories by brute-force approach. And here's another month? Bet I'll hit 300+ by the end of the month.

What you need is a patented, anal-retentive, I-can't-believe-anyone-goes-thorugh-this-much-trouble short story tracker. I'm just sayin'. ;-)

Hah! While you were typing that, my count went from 239 to 247. I'm just sayin'!!!
