They are both out of print and considered unsavoury for these conservative times.

Well, actually, not these conservative times, but in the 90s, they came under heavy fire for their misogynistic views, portrayals of female slavery and for the idea that basically the only thing women were good for was being naked and serving men. You know? All the stuff I always thought was just normal.

Norman actually attempted to make a comeback and do another SF/fantasy series in 1996 (I think, it might have been 94). He published one book in the series, promising more, and then was never heard from again. The rumor mill had it that because of pressure from women's groups and certain "charitible" organizations, he was blacklisted from writing another book.

And he has not been heard from since.
