Welcome to the Great Science-Fiction & Fantasy Works web site!
You have apparently come to this page from a link on a search engine or another site. If this is your first visit here, I much recommend that you take a few minutes to look over the introductory material accessible via the red “Introductory” zone of the Site Menu available from the “hamburger” icon in the upper right of this (and every) page. An understanding of the purposes and principles of organization of this site will, I hope and believe, much augment your experience here, for this page and in general. You can simply click this link to get at the site front page, which, unsurprisingly, is the best place to start. Thank you for visiting.
This is a brief discussion of P. C. Hodgell and, of course, of some speculative-fiction books by Hodgell.
This discussion and list does not necessarily include every book by Hodgell: it includes only those books that I both know and like. Just as with the author list itself, omission of a particular item may mean I didn’t think highly enough of the omitted item, or it may simply mean that I have not yet sufficient familiarity with it. (In a very few cases, I have listed some books merely on the strength of my opinion of the author: all such books are clearly marked below, as throughout these lists, with a hash mark (#) before the title so you know what’s what.)
I don’t pretend that this discussion is a deep analysis. My intent is no more than to give you a rough idea of what kinds of tales Hodgell tells, how those tales are usually told, and what makes them and Hodgell worthy; in sum, to help you rank P. C. Hodgell (and the works by Hodgell listed here) on your personal literary “to do” list.
A Few Words About P. C. Hodgell

Hodgell has her own web site, P. C. Hodgell. Moreover, she has a blog, tagmeth, which is quite up to date. She also has a Facebook page, though its last post is late 2017.
