A Dragon-Hoard of Words

 

Places, Races, Entities, and Objects of Industrialized Faerie

This list was assembled from lists I put together for the proofreaders of each book as it was published. I suspect that the lists were not always passed along to the proofreaders, but I felt it was important to make the effort anyway. Those guys work hard and get very little in the way of thanks for it.

So to everyone who ever had the rather difficult chore of proofing one of my novels... Thanks. I really do appreciate it.
