Notes
- From the series record (Elatsoe): A contemporary-set fantasy in which ghosts, vampires, and fair folk are publicly known to exist, grounded in Lipan Apache oral tradition; the title character can raise and command ghosts, including her ghost dog Kirby. Sheine Lende (2024) is a direct prequel to Elatsoe (2020), set two generations earlier around the title character's grandmother; registered by internal chronology rather than publication order. No further book has been announced; the universe is registered 'ongoing' since the author's own site frames it as an open-ended world rather than a closed 2-book set.
Neighbouring works
