Recently published - Last published story was "The Key" in Amazing 1993. Many stories in the 70s, including "His Hour Upon the Stage," on the final Nebula ballot in 1976. "After You've Stood on the Log at the Center of the Universe, What Is There Left to Do?" was used in Japan to teach school children (around 10 or so) English in the mid 1980s. "Fountain of Force" was in Jerry Pournell's "Black Holes" anthology, printed in many langauges. I do not know if it was published in Japan.
