Who This Author Is

Hilari Bell has enough depth here to be more than a raw catalog rollup. This page pulls together 22 catalog-linked books across 2000 to 2015, which makes it easier to separate the strongest starting points from the noisier editions. The clearest lane here leans toward Fantasy & Sci-Fi.

Best for readers who want imaginative settings, series momentum, and clearer jumping-in spots. If you want the easiest first click, start with The Last Knight (Knight and Rogue) and branch outward from there. UPB note: the strongest documented run here lands between 2000 to 2015; the most common copies on this page tend to come from Smashwords and HarperCollins Publishers.
