NOTE: I’ve started to list the series, if any, a particular title is part of, as well as its place in series, if known.
*Yes, yes, it’s a sad thing, an author reading her own stuff for fun, but there it is — I recently had to proof Local Custom, the first of the threesome, and found it, err, compelling, and I had the two follows on the phone, so here we are. For the record, I’m having fun. The trilogy runs thusly: Local Custom, Scout’s Progress, Mouse and Dragon.
