Diana-Paxson.com Main Page

This will be an overall site for people interested in Diana Paxson's literary works. There's no real content here yet, but in the meantime here is a fairly complete list of her published books (but not her short stories and poetry):

First, there are the series: Westria, Wodan's Children, and the
Chronicles of Finn mac Cumhal. There's also her Arthurian novel,
which you may find as 1, 2, or 4 volumes because splitting a large
novel into 4 serials was very popular in the US in 2000, so I'll
list it with the series even though it was intended as a single
volume:

Westria:
	Lady of Light (1982)
	Lady of Darkness (1983)
		-- these two can rarely be found separately, but are
		more commonly found as an omnibus titled either
		_Lady of Light, Lady of Darkness_ (UK edition)
		or _Mistress of the Jewels_ (US edition)
	Silverhair the Wanderer (1986)
	The Earthstone (1987)
	The Sea Star (1988)
	The Wind Crystal (1990)
	The Jewel of Fire (1992)
	The Golden Hills of Westria (2006)
		This new book doesn't require the rest of the series 
		to read, and hit the shelves in early 2006.

Wodan's Children:
	The Wolf and the Raven (1993)
	The Dragons of the Rhine (1995)
	The Lord of Horses (1996)

Chronicles of Finn mac Cumhal (written with Adrienne Martine-Barnes)
	Master of Earth and Water (1993)
	The Shield between the Worlds (1994)
	Sword of Fire and Shadow (1996)

The Hallowed Isle (all 1999):
You may find these as one volume with two books (Sword & Spear,
Cauldron & Stone), all in one volume (The Hallowed Isle) or as
four trade paperbacks as they were originally published. The
two-book volumes were published in 2000:

	The Hallowed Isle: The Book of the Sword
	The Hallowed Isle: The Book of the Spear
	The Hallowed Isle: The Book of the Cauldron
	The Hallowed Isle: The Book of the Stone

Then there are many "stand-alone" novels. While some of them
(_Brisingamen_ and _The Paradise Tree_ in particular) are modern
fantasy, the rest are "historical novels where they take their
religion *very* seriously!" according to Diana -- and fantasy according
to her publishers!

	Brisingamen (1984)
	White Mare, Red Stallion (1986)
	The Paradise Tree (1987)
	The White Raven (1988)
	The Serpent's Tooth (1991)

Lastly, there are the results of a long-standing association.

Marion Zimmer Bradley is Diana Paxson's sister-in-law. When MZB had a
stroke in the early nineties, it became hard for her to continue
work on her Avalon series, and Diana did an increasing amount of
work with every book after the first one -- but I hasten to add
that Diana did *not* write any of _The Mists of Avalon_. So, the
following books, while published under MZB's name, should be
considered collaborations with more of Diana's actual writing as
the series progresses. _Priestess of Avalon_ was the first to
openly have Diana's name on the cover, and _Ancestors of Avalon_,
recently released, is actually a collaboration with MZB's son,
David Bradley.

The Forest House (1993)
Lady of Avalon (1998)
Priestess of Avalon (2002)
Ancestors of Avalon (2004)

Diana has recently submitted a completed manuscript for a new book in this
series, _Ravens of Avalon_, with a probable publication date of 
sometime in 2008.

Thanks for your continued patience!
