Appendix Complete!

Dear readers, a beautiful appendix has been fully crafted for us all to enjoy.

Coming in at a svelte yet well-built 70 pages, this contains all people, places, and terms present in the story dimension not exactly as in ours. It’s a little bit as though notes on these matters were gathered first-to-thirdhand from diverse perspectives and sources from within the chronology, possibly by Kao-Sidhe, and bundled into one organized trunk in the Vedani aetherscape, with an obvious multiplicity of contributors.

I am, in our world, the one who wrote it, yes. I took on this task because I myself have adored a fine appendix, and Bones of Starlight was built with a mountain of juicy tidbits.

This will be available to purchase on 7/14/24, July 14 Bastille Day, as it was with 3: Greater Beyond. Contact me personally via social media or through the site email form for a direct or autographed copy or set, or find it through your bookseller with the ISBN above via Ingram Distributors.

I once bought a chapbook Index for a work of fiction I hadn’t read, because it was intentionally artistically produced, and reading an out-of-context index to someone’s favorite work felt delightfully and poignantly non-sequitur. So if you ask, Does it stand on its own? my thought is, if you think it could. For Lovers of Worldbuilding.

I hope this will be a joyous addition to complete anyone’s individual volume trilogy set. It costs almost as much as a novel, but not quite. It’s a jacketed hardcover and will sit nicely next to the original full set of volumes. The cover art is also by the zesty trilogy cover art painter @leo.shallat (IG & TikTok).

Do I want to add the Appendix to the free version hosted on this website?

Yes.

On Thursday 6-9, I’m going to support Bones of Starlight’s hardcover art painter Leo Shallat at a new gallery opening at Art Primo, a supply store for his medium in Capitol Hill. Join us to experience what stunning newness there may be In Store. If you’re not going out, view or support via https://www.leoshallat.com/ , and as always the science fiction fantasy books featuring his artwork on the cover are obtainable from wherever you like to procure new books in distribution.

Greater Beyond Cover Art

This is Bones of Starlight hardcover artist Leo Shallat (at his studio sale in Seattle continuing this weekend), sitting next to a print of the art that will feature on Book 3: Greater Beyond. Painting titled, Golden Hour. This switchup hits the right tone, and I’m greatly pleased about it! It’s also a wonderful experience to see this painter pushing his art to new levels over the years, now.
