Diane Browne: Bibliography

Following my last post, someone asked me how many stories/books I'd written. So I decided to post my bibliography. It was posted when I first started blogging, but it's had additions since then. I've taken out the textbooks. You will also see that some stories are repeated because of their publishing history, but just trying to format this has been such a struggle, text behaving at will, text disappearing so that  I didn't attempt to redo the list.
