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….

Very cool and I’m glad you are doing this. I’ll admit the first three Paksenarrion books are pretty much the top of my favorite book list (with Wizard of Earthsea actually), and its fun to see how the world evolves and how you see it compared to how I saw it when I read the novels.
Thank you for the effort you are putting into it.

I wish I could draw! The world of Paksenarrion is so clear to my inner sight that I have a series of pictures for the books — an entire interior movie, really.

Thanks for making this site, I’ll keep an eye on it. Very excited about the possibility of more books. :]

More books! Are you kidding me! That’s AWESOME! The Paksenarrion trilogy has been my absolute favorite set of books since I first discovered them some 11 or 12 years ago. I read them from front to back about once a year and many other times I pick them up to thumb through my favorite parts. My husband teases me about it whenever he catches me.
My grandmother gave me a signed copy of Sheepfarmer’s Daughter when I was in high school. She was living in Burnet, TX at the time (north of Austin). Unfortunately I let a friend borrow it (not knowing how I’d grow to love them) and it was never returned
Those books have traveled with me all over the world. I have read them in cars, in planes, and on boats (it’s a good thing I’m not prone to motion sickness). By the way, the second book falls apart way faster than the other two. I’m on my third copy and it’s in four separate pieces. Will there ever be a hard copy version?
Anyway, I can’t wait till the new books come out. I’ll be praying for you
God bless.

There was an omnibus edition (all three in one) that came out first as a trade paperback and then as a hardcover. The hardcover is out of print, but the trade paperback should still be available, though you might have to special-order it.
There’s information on both on the Paksworld website, http://www.paksworld.com/books that includes both the ordering info (ISBN and so on) and a cover picture.

The omnibus edition stands up very well over time. Mine is 11 years old, and still in good shape. It helps to use book covers.

Do you make your own book covers? And if so, of what material? (I’ve seen homemade transparent covers and also opaque ones.)

I bought the Hardback Omnibus edition on Ebay.
Some people are trying to get a lot for it so look around, I got one in almost perfect condition for $25. I was super happy since all of my original paperback versions are worn a wee bit.
I also tend to read this series over and over. “Oath of Gold” is my favorite one, although all three hold a special place in my heart.

I’m a re-reader of things I love, too. Some are fiction, some are nonfiction, but if they hit me right, I read them over and over and over.
