Other than that, we only know she is the author or co-author of the novels The Absolutely Perfect Horse; Blood Kin; Bloody Texas Trail; Carrots and Miggle; Exile on Vlahil; Far Horizons; Feud At Sweetwater Creek; Golden Dream: A Fuzzy Odyssey; High Mountain Winter; How the Gods Wove in Kyrannon; Hunters of the Plains; The Island in the Lake; Khi to Freedom; Lords of the Triple Moons; Makra Choria; Medicine Walk; Gyldendal; Monkey Station; Passage West; People of the Mesa; A Place of Silver Silence; A Road of Stars; Runes of the Lyre; The Saga of Grittel Sundotha; Seekers of Shar-Nuhn; Slewfoot Sally and the Flying Mule; Soul-Singer of Tyrnos; BattleTech: The Sword and the Dagger; Texas Gunsmoke; Timber Pirates; Towers of the Earth; Trail of the Seahawks; The Untamed; The Wall; Warlock's Gift; Wild Country; Wilderness Rendezvous; The World Ends in Hickory Hollow; the collections The Collected Stories of Ardath Mayhar, Mean Little Old Lady at Work and Dark Regions; and the poetry collections Journey To an Ending and Reflections.

We almost lost a finger getting that book list, so we weren't willing to ask if she had really won the Balrog Award for Poetry in the fantasy field, 1984, or the Margaret Haley Carpenter Prize (poetry), 1988; or been on the Young Adult Services Division 1982 Fifty Best Books For Young Adults List; South Carolina Librarians' Award List; Texas Bluebonnet Award List, 1983-84; ALA Notable Books for Children in the field of social studies; Omar Award List, 1984-85; the Parents' Choice Foundation Remarkable Literature list, 1986; the William Allen White Award List (twice); the Golden Sower Award List; the Sunshine State Award List; the Sequoyah Award List, 1987-88; Mark Twain Award List, 1988-89; the Nebula Award Preliminary Ballot; Finalist, Spur Award (Western Writers of America), 1987; and the Best Science Fiction/Fantasy List for 1988.
