swestrupI've recently been rereading the Godstalk series of books by P. C. Hodgell. Truly, they are amongst my most favorite fantasy novels ever. This time through I'm amazed to notice how many things I thought I had come up with for my own RPG writing was inspired by, or directly borrowed from these books.
I actually own a signed, limited-edition leather-bound set of her writings as this was the only way I could get my hands on "Seekers Mask", the third book in the series.
On a whim I decided to check up on the books on Wikipedia, under the assumption that the series had come to an untimely end since it had been so long since the last book came out (1994). Well, it seems that the series hasn't been abandoned, nor has P. C. Hodgell passed away as I was beginning to fear. She released a fourth novel in 2006, that I had never heard of, and has a fifth one due out any time now.
I am SO happy about this, you cannot believe. I started reading these books when they first came out, when I was just out of high school, and am still in love with them now some 25-or so years later. I'm going to be picking these books up as soon as I possibly can -- in hardcover, money permitting.
