Sort of :) According to the author's Web site (http://www.sff.net/
people/adam-troy/biblio.htm):
"These stories are part of an ongoing future history, additional
pieces of the same mystery further explored in my novel, _Emissaries
From the Dead_. "Unseen Demons" is a prior adventure of the novel's
protagonist, Andrea Cort.
"The Funeral March of the Marionettes", Fantasy and Science Fiction,
July 1997 (Hugo, Nebula Nominee).
"Sunday Night Yams at Minnie and Earl's," Analog, June 2001 (Nebula
nominee).
"Unseen Demons," Analog, July/August 2002.
"The Tangled Strings of the Marionettes," Fantasy and Science Fiction,
2003 (Nebula Nominee)."
So there are 4 stories set in the same universe, one of them featuring
Andrea Cort.
