You can find them in Stoneface near the beginning.

Screamwings are my creations (that's me, Mark Ellis )...as Phantom says, they make their first "Axlerverse" appearance in DL Stoneface and later in OL Iceblood...a book reprinted in the special Aftermath edition, along with DL The Mars Arena, by Mel Odom.

The screamwings also show up in the opening of OL Devil In The Moon.

Thanks for the info guys, i had ordered stoneface already-Bonus

It is so cool that authors post here, its actually kind of a honor that you all seem to speak with us fans, that f'ing rocks!!

Once I get the GA books 13, 28, 30, Ill start buying the others, and most likley Ill buy the one that have authors posting here as I think its cool that you actually speak to us fans, and that goes along way and as you give us fans a chance to know you here, that makes me want to get the GA books you guys have made, so thanks for that

Yeah its quite neat that the authors(past and present) have got time to kickback with us deathland geeks. LOL

Book 97 deals with them allot, including one so big it carries off Jak! Very cool mutie!! Wish they had been in the first 33 books that Ive heard so far... (Book 97 is only book outside of first 33 Ive listened to so far) But its a great addition to deathlands very evil

Are these diabolical creation's of your's edible? Seeing as you created them i think you should be the one to fine tune the details of these abomination's.
One last question if i may? Where you a DL fan before writing Stone face? 

Hi Mark, I listened to book 34 (Stoneface) very cool and deadly enemy, there like piranha with wings

I wouldn't think screamwings would be any more edible than a piranha...pretty much all cartilage.

I wasn't a fan of DL when I started writing for the series...I was aware of the series, definitely...even skimmed through Pilgrimage to Hell the summer it came out  while I sat in my nephew's hospital room after he had undergone surgery.

I have a memory of thumbing through Neutron Solistice in the late 80s, but it didn't make much of an impression.

In summer of 1995, when I was asked to write DL, the-then editor sent me about twenty books to read...which I did. I also found a few more in used bookstores. There was also a kind of a series "bible" in those days.

There still is a DL Bible, though I don't know if it provided to current DL writers.

That would be interesting to see, I wonder how up to date it is and if it still has Dean listed as saying "hot pipe" at least twice every two paragraphs

How many pages does it run too and just what does it include? I'm guessing from the last few books that either its not given out any more or more likely is and ignored totally!

I dont know anything and everything is edible to the companions, who can forget the boots they had to eat to survive!!!!!!!
Thanks for the info Mr Ellis, a pleasure as always 

I was sent a couple of the series bibles...the last one I received was cover dated May 1997. I believe there was at least one major update in the early 2000s.

I wrote a series bible for Outlanders too...but it became pretty obsolete with the publication of Children of the Serpent.

Did children of the serpent destroy your canon for the series?

No...quite the opposite.

It simplified things and through that book, Outlanders was able to make the final break with DL.

The two series were still set in the same fictional universe, seperated by a century, but there was no longer any direct linkage.

I'd been minimizing the connection for the previous couple of years, but Children of the Serpent made DL, as Ron said, not irrelevant but having no more impact on it than the Revolutionary War had on the War Between the States.

Mark,

Please see my PM here.
