The Compleat (To Date) Darger & Surplus

I recently received a letter from a fan asking for a complete listing of my Darger & Surplus stories, and where they can be found. I don't believe this information is available elsewhere on the Web, so I thought I'd share it here:
There are three published stories:
The Dog Said Bow-Wow The Little Cat Laughed to See Such Sport Girls and Boys, Come Out to Play
All of which are in my Tachyon Publications collection, The Dog Said Bow-Wow.
In addition, there is a set of four sequential short-shorts:
Smoke and Mirrors: Four Scenes from the Postutopian Future
This has not been collected. It originally appeared in Live Without a Net, edited by Lou Anders. It was also published by Dragonstairs Press as a set of four small, hand-sewn, signed and numbered chapbooks:
American Cigarettes Song of the Lorelei The Brain-Baron The Nature of Mirrors
The Brain-Baron is sold out. The other three are still available for four dollars apiece. You can find Dragonstairs here.
Dragonstairs Press, incidentally, is the nano-publishing juggernaut of my wife, Marianne Porter.
There is a new story forthcoming:
Tawny Petticoats
This chronicles the New Orleans adventures of Darger & Surplus and is scheduled to appear soon in Rogues, edited by Gardner Dozois and George R. R. Martin.
And there are two novels:
Dancing With Bears
This chronicles how Darger & Surplus finally reach Moscow and what happens then. It came out in 2011 from Night Shade Press
Chasing the Phoenix
This chronicles how Darger & Surplus accidentally conquered China. I recently turned in to my agent. So a good guess is that it will appear late in 2014 or early in 2015.
There are also a few partially-written Darger & Surplus adventures which I hope to find the time to complete in the coming year. There aren't as many short stories as I could wish for -- certainly not enough for a collection -- but in time there will be.
