Author Site for Jim Galford
Hello and welcome!
This site is where I've decided to toss together my ramblings on various aspects of my writing, including more detail on the characters and setting of the books' world. Most of the information here is a result of specific interview questions or emailed inquiries from readers.
Sadly, not everything makes it into a book. In Wilder Lands comes in at 196,000 words, but I still have about 100 pages of material I could have added to flesh out some things. As a result, I thought I'd put up some notes on the people and places of Eldvar. Those can be found along the right-hand side. More will hopefully go up over time.
If you have questions, I'll be putting up a contact form soon so you can simply drop me a line right from this site.

Announcement:
A special edition of In Wilder Lands will be released in August. This edition will contain many extra pages in the form of a side-story. Additionally, the cover art will be redone for this edition. This will be a limited release. More info to come!
To purchase books, please see the links to the right for the book you are interested in. Each book's page has links to the Amazon (and any other) sales site for print and eBook editions.
Also, if you like fantasy novels, I recommend my brother's work. It's a very different style than my own, but is still quality work. Currently, he has The Hollow March out in both paperback and eBook. His Amazon page can be found HERE.
8/10/12 to 8/12/12 - Jim Galford will be attending a convention in the general Denver area to promote In Wilder Lands (and hopefully its sequel) to an audience that has a particular appreciation for characters like the ones used in these particular stories. Signings and discussion are available. Also, a special edition release of the book will be available with new artwork and 80 extra pages in the form of a short story, from the viewpoint of Lihuan.
Addendum: I find it amazingly funny how much outcry I got from the above posting about the convention. I had thought I would get more outcry if I was specific about which con, but things went the other way, criticizing me for not saying which con it was. To be clear, I will be attending the Rocky Mountain Fur Con. Yes, this is a furry convention, but given that my first two books deal with wildlings (anthropomorphic characters), this is not in the slightest bit inappropriate. Unlike some, I do not judge people by their interests and hobbies.
