I read a lot of Katherine Kurtz, Marrian Zimmer Bradley, Andre Norton,

Having read the first of the Miles stories (Mountain of Mourning? It
was in Analog - or was it Asimov's? I was getting both at the time - I
gave them up when I went back to university and was moving every 4
months so expected that if I kept up my subscriptions some of them
wouldn't catch up to my moves)

One of the advantages of being in the US Army (well, in the 70's-early
80's at least) was that magazines /did/ forward.

This came in very handy in "helping" the magazine distinguish between
"we sent it but it wasn't forwarded" and "we didn't bother to send it
at all because we figured it wouldn't be forwarded anyway".

I started a habit of always saving the last two lables on each
magazine. I still do, although I haven't moved since 1983.

Old habits die hard.

I know for sure that I didn't thing either it or Enders' Game (also
first published in one of those two) were nearly as good as they
turned out to be at the award level later on - and I read both of
these in the magazines before their first book publication.
