What’s this all about? Where’s the story?
This a serialized audio book. You can subscribe to the podcast, or you can listen right here on the site via streaming player. You can also download the individual episodes without subscribing, so there are lots of ways to listen. Here’s a quick link to the first episode and here’s a one-minute promo for the book (it’s like reading the back cover). If you don’t know what a podcast is, you can go here for more information. You don’t actually have to know anything about podcasts to listen, but subscribing to the podcast makes everything more convenient.

I’m sure I saw Panamindorah illustrations somewhere else.
I am having another Panamindorah book, Guild of the Cowry Catchers, professionally illustrated by Sarah Cloutier in watercolor and pencil. That book is not free online at this time, but you can view the illustrations and read a few chapters here.
What is Guild of the Cowry Catchers?
Cowry Catchers is another completed Panamindorah story. It occurs chronologically before the events in Prophet, but in a distant part of the world with none of the same characters.
What is Walk Upon High?
Walk is another completed Panamindorah story. It occurs chronologically after the events in Prophet in a distant part of the world with a few of the same characters. It is more closely related to Cowry Catchers than to Prophet. Information about it is available here.
What is “Blood of the Dawn”?
“Dawn” is a short story about Talis, one of the minor characters in Prophet and the main character in Walk Upon High. “Dawn” occurs about four years after the events in Prophet. The story is available in Beyond Centuari magazine in the April 2008 edition (issue #20), available here (you’ll need to scroll down to issue #20).
Your license says “no derivatives.” Does that mean you don’t approve of fan works?
If my work has inspired you enough to want to make art or fiction from it, I am flattered. You are welcome to do that. Just credit me with the original content, and link back to this site. I’d also like to know about it, but you don’t have to tell me if that makes you uncomfortable. The “no derivatives” clause in my license is there mainly because I don’t want people manipulating the artwork on my site or the actual audio episodes (although you’re welcome to redistribute them as long as you credit me).
Is Panamindorah furry?
I seem to get this question with fair frequency, so here’s my answer. Warning: this audio does contain frank language.
May I stalk you?
I’m not really that stalk-able. However, if you want to keep up with me personally, I’m on livejournal and twitter.
I have other questions!
