Liner notes:

- Wind’s Four Quarters is from the short story “Swordsworn” in Sword and Sorceress 3, edited by Marion Zimmer Bradley. 

- Eumenides is from a moment of mixed self-pity and rage. 

- Reject is from a moment of unmixed self-pity. 

- Jirel of Joiry is based on the four short stories featuring that character by C.L. Moore. 

- Lute Lessons is based on Dreamrider by Sandra Miesel. 

- Gil-Shalos is based on the Darwath Trilogy by Barbara Hambly. 

- Arafel’s Song is based on the Tree of Swords and Jewels by C.J. Cherryh. 

- Morgaine is based on The Gate of Ivrel by C.J. Cherryh. 

- Medic is from a rather awful fanzine short story I once wrote. 

- F.A.P. stands for “Feline American Princess.  I have eight cats.  ‘Nuff said. 

- Lammas Night is the Mystery.  I refuse to tell the ending! 

- Kerowyn’s Ride is the Murder, from the beginning of the next set of Valdemar stories.  For the curious, Kerowyn is Kethry’s granddaughter. 

- Patterns in Amber is based on the Amber books by Roger Zelazny.  Also the Mayhem – I don’t know of any family more so inclined. 

- Elven Harper – take that, prom queens! 

- Some Kind of Hero may work its way into a novel someday, but for now, this is the whole story.
