What was Turtledoves first short story?
His first sale was the short story “Death in Vesunna,” co-written with Elaine O’Byrne. However, the magazine went belly-up before it was published. His first published short story was “Report of the Special Committee on the Quality of Life,” which appeared under the Eric Iverson byline in Universe 10 (edited by Terry Carr). The first story to appear under the Harry Turtledove byline was either “Herbig-Haro” or “And So To Bed,” both of which have January 1986 publication dates.
