Appendix Complete

And, that’s the full appendix, serialized in parts over the last couple months, added to the free version popdown menu at the very top. Learning Country! There was so much to learn, for these characters and this world. Glad to share this worldbuilding with readers, and truly it feels like a real trilogy with additional materials the like of which I’ve savored.

This volume is available for $22 in hardcover, from your favorite new bookseller online or by request at your bookstore. Here are some Barnes & Noble links, for instance.
