TALES FROM JABBA'S PALACE

BANTAM New York Toronto London Sydney Auckland

To SUE ROSTONI who has been more helpful than any of Jabba's minions
could have ever been, offering suggestions, troubleshooting obstacles, and
navigating me through a forest of details that would have given even a Hutt a
headache!


Acknowledgements

Thanks go to Lucy Wilson for being so enthusiastic about the idea of
anthologies in the first place, Tom Dupree for his efforts at Bantam Books,
and Bill Smith at West End Games for providing the foundations for so, many of
these stories. And, as always, Rebecca Moesta Anderson, for putting up with me
at times when she probably should have just fed me to the rancor.
