These ebook editions of this epic fantasy trilogy include a lot of new material: maps, directories of characters and places, a glossary, and Author's Notes. Large versions of the trilogy's two new color maps are posted on this site, along with the key to the coded message that's included in the Sileria map's border.

More Esther Diamond Disappearing Nightly, the first Esther Diamond novel, was reissued by DAW Books in June 2012. If you've been unable to find the original edition of this novel (which was released by a different publisher several years ago and went out-of-print quickly), now you can finally read how Esther, Max, and Lopez all met. |

I've added a new free short story to this site, "Homicidal Honeymoon," a romantic-comedy which was first published in Murder Most Romantic (ed. Denise Little & Martin H. Greenberg, Cumberland House, 2001). I've also made this story available as a FREE! ebook which you can find at various online bookstores. The ebook includes excerpts from Disappearing Nightly (Resnick), A Wilder Name (Leone), and Fallen From Grace (Leone). |
