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.

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

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?

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! Jim

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.
