(1976: "collaboration" with Robert Coulson; 1989: Anthony's original republished, with annotations) see main article. Pretender (1979) with Frances Hall, ISBN 0-89370-130-0 Mute (1981) a sequel named "Moot" was shelved, with extensive notes. Those notes are now lost and that sequel will not be written. Shade of the Tree (1986) Ghost (1986) Total Recall (1989) a novelization of the film Total Recall, which is based on the short story "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale" by Philip K. Dick. The UK and US editions are different. Through the Ice (1989) with Robert Kornwise posthumously—Kornwise was a high school student who had died. His friends sent his unfinished manuscript and a plea to Piers Anthony to help their deceased friend get published. To make sure that the book was a fitting memorial tribute, Piers Anthony made sure it was printed on acid-free paper despite the expense. Firefly (1990) Hard Sell (1990) Dead Morn (1990) with Roberto Fuentes Balook (1991) MerCycle (1991) Tatham Mound (1991) The Caterpillar's Question (1992) with Philip José Farmer—This collaboration was actually the result of another proposed collaborative project. The original idea proposed by an editor was to have a book where each chapter was written by a different author. That project fell apart, but Piers Anthony and Philip José Farmer later decided they wanted to salvage something from it by morphing it into a two-person collaboration, where the two alternated chapters, without revealing who wrote which chapters. Killobyte (1993) If I Pay Thee Not in Gold (1993) with Mercedes Lackey Volk (1996) historical fiction that is atypical for Anthony The Willing Spirit (1996) with Alfred Tella Spider Legs (1998) with Clifford A.

Rodriguez—This collaboration is a different one for Piers Anthony. He crafted an original short story based on the character Cartaphilus from the creator-owned Starkweather comic book series by David A. Rodriguez. This short story was then adapted into a comic book script and painted by fantasy artist Patrick McEvoy and published by Archaia Studios, making Starkweather: Immortal issue 0, Piers Anthony's first true comic book work.
