John M. Ford's novel, _The Last Hot Time_ started life as a Borderlands short story, but by the time it was finished, didn't quite fit the brand any more. Still, you might like it.
Ford in general is one of those "wish he was more famous" authors. He did delightfully witty stuff, and never the same sort of thing twice. (Well, he did write two Star Trek novels. But they were very different from each other, and from every other ST novel ever written. They are famous for making Paramount change the rules on what was allowable in a ST novel, so nothing that unique would ever make it through again.)
