Paksworld

Eagle-eyed readers have already pointed out mistakes on the Paksworld website.   If you happen to spot mistakes (where what I said on the website contradicts something in the books), please give a shout-out so I can fix it.

If it’s a mistake in the books…well, too late now.   Or mostly too late.  Correcting mistakes has to wait until the publisher thinks it’s worth doing…all the copies of that printing are sold and it’s going back again, or (more likely) a new edition.   Still, let me (or the publisher) know.

While we’re on the subject,  there are mistakes I didn’t make and can’t fix; if the covers come off or there’s a chapter of someone else’s book in the middle of mine–that’s something to write the publisher about.  You can complain to the bookstore (they will tell the publisher too) but direct contact from readers does help.

The blog now has a Links page that will let you hop directly to the Paksworld website (saves me having to put in the link in every post–since I forget.) It also has links to my main website, and to my LiveJournal. Both of those have information on other books, on writing in general, and many other things…this site is only for Paks-related stuff.

The website now has additional content–three of the front page links are now live with a little content behind them. There will be more, but this is a start. The FAQ is only partly done (time…it vanishes under my fingers as I type…and the books need to be done too…) but I’ll add to it from time to time.   The bio may go up tonight or tomorrow.  Fiction (books in print, forthcoming books, and Paks-related short fiction) are now on the site.

The new title block will be done in a couple of weeks–maybe sooner but it is the holiday season and at some point I have to stop and bake cookies for the choir party. And then for the other choir party. And then for presents. And…..

The Paksenarrion universe has lots (and lots, and lots) of places in it, and readers new to that universe–not being introduced to it step by step, as Paks walked through her first years of travel–may feel overwhelmed.

So the “Places” page is now up at the website. It’s not complete (the stories aren’t complete–the map has to have blank places for new things to happen in) but it’s a beginning.

Meanwhile, the list of books already published is up on the Paksworld site with helpful information.

You may need to refresh/reload your browser as we make changes to the site.

The new website for all the Paksenarrion-related books will soon be up.  Here’s what you can expect to find on it.

A list of all the books in the Paksenarrion fictional universe, with groups in the correct order and links to publishers and sources

Background material on places, characters, and societies.

Maps (as I draw them…this will take awhile since I’m also writing…)

Lists of names, referenced to the book that character appears in.

Artwork

Information on forthcoming books in this universe.

This blog will also have information on the progress of the books I’m working on.

More later….
