Poltergeist (Analog July 1971). This is a very short piece in which Telzey, off on a weekend by herself, encounters a distraught man threatened by his own unrealized alternate personality, and has to find a way to deal with it, in order to save him and herself. Reprinted in Telzey Amberdon (Baen, 2000).

“The Ghayrog city of Dulorn was an architectural marvel, a city of frosty brilliance that extended for two hundred miles up and down the heart of the great Dulorn Rift.”
“Lord Valentine’s Castle” part two by Robert Silverberg Fantasy and Science Fiction Dec. 1979
Excerpt from the review of Black Cat Mystery Magazine No. 1 from The Digest Enthusiast No. 7:
A PI decides an unforgettable bank teller is better left forgotten in Jack Halliday’s “Don’t Bank on It.” Trouble is, she’s a person of interest in more ways than one. Nice set-up, but at just three pages, the payoff is more plot point than climax.
