O.K.  Deep breath. Both feet. Jump!
       Does anyone have a COMPLETE list of ALL of Jane's Professionals Fiction? And some idea of where to find them? I'm looking for both stories and zines:  Falconhurst, Czardas, Magickal vol.2 and vol. 3 (I've also heard vol. 3 called Power and Magic), a COMPLETE copy of The Hunting Book 1 (Circuit Archive version sadly incomplete), Rainy Days vol.1 (which I think is out of print?), a story called "Flare Up"  which I think was collected in something called "Outtakes" from Full Circle 1-5, Perfect Gentlemen, Flesh and Steel Omnibus (good grief!), a story called "A Beltane Elegy" (Cross My Heart 5?), a novella "Cover Up" (Cross My Heart 12?) and a series of stories which I think were printed in Other Times, Other Places 1-6-"The Snowbird", "The Swordsman", "Bounty", "Strangers on the Shore", "Prince of the Mists", and "Breakheart" (which I think is on Circuit Archive).  I've heard that she also had two stories in a zine called Adult Situations, "Family Affairs" and "Night."  Also, are there stories in the "Old Longings" series? The only two posted on the Circuit Archive are "Old Longings" and "Acceptable Risks." And does a collected zine version of The Dreaming Stone series even exist? Am I missing any? It's like looking for Shakespeare's lost folios!
     O.K. Breathe.
     Any help at all, even just a complete list to start from, would be gratefully appreciated. :)

Jane of Australia's Pros Stories - part 2

I've got an older copy of the Nut Hatch master zine list which will help you to identify Jane's stuff, and also give you some idea of what the zines were going for new, in terms of prices. Also, your location will determine where the best places are to look for the used zines. Weight and postage are definitely issues. Are you in the US, UK, Australia / New Zealand, Europe, Asia, elsewhere?

And I'd love to know why you're trying to collect all Jane's Pros stuff: personal pleasure, academic thesis, collector's mania, hunting for resale for other fen? Depending on why you're collecting Jane's Pros stories and zines, you might also be interested in Kathy Keegan's stuff and/or Mel Keegan's (a Jane pseudonym) homoerotic books, some of which are Pros stories that have had the "serial numbers filed off".

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND, however, that there was an ongoing problem with zine piracy for years regarding Nut Hatch zines and there are many, many, many illegal Xerox copies found around fandom for which Nut Hatch press never got paid - and which really hurt the press. Nut Hatch was an Australian press and Nut Hatch zines (shipped from Australia) were printed on A4 paper, taller and less wide than standard US paper. To complicate things, though, there was for a time an authorized American agent for Nut Hatch press and she did have permission to print a few zines (not all, it was just a select few) in the US. So not all authorized Nut Hatch press zines are printed on A4 paper - though the vast majority are A4. There are some other tips for identifying fakes that I'll include in my email.
