The following is the introductory blurb to "A Matter Of Honor", which was
originally printed in _Clarion Sf_, ed. Kate Wilhelm, Berkeley Medallion,
1977. This story, significantly revised, became one of the chapters of
_God Stalk_, and is probably Hodgell's first professional appearance.
Pat Hodgell (called PC, pronounced "peacy") is a graduate
student in English at the University of Minnesota. She has
a green belt in judo, and a kyu blue in aikido, and she does
art as a hobby. There are a number of _Jame_ stories in
various stages of completion, and eventually there will be
a novel. I feel certain after reading this, her first story,
many people will look forward to the novel with eagerness.
Eight years to finally get into print! Lets hope we don't have to
wait another eight for a sequel.
As to the identity of the cover artist, poring over the lower right-hand
corner of the cover reveals (I think) "??ernak". Anyone know of a cover
artist named Pasternak, or Chernak, or have I been playing too many
records backwards listening for satanic messages :-).
