Welcome to the wiki for BCMystery, writing as Bill Cameron and W.H. Cameron.

This wiki is currently a developmental work-in-progress by the author. It is not open to public editing at this time. In the future, it may be opened to outside editors should there be any interest.

Main Categories

Books, including all published and some unpublished or in-development projects
Stories, including all published and some unpublished or in-development short- and medium-length projects
Characters, organized by series or standalone appearances
Locations, settings found throughout the books and stories, some real, some reimagined versions of actual places, and some wholly fictional. In addition to text content, some locations include maps in PDF or JPEG formats.
Miscellaneous, objects and events of significance.
Works-in-Progress, stories and novels which are either in development or on submission. Spoilers lurk in these entries.

On Spoilers

It is the nature of a wiki that as details are added, spoilers are likely to appear. Some spoiler information has been hidden inside click-to-reveal Spoiler containers, but this hasn't yet been fully implemented. A number of spoilers are still in plain view.

*** If you don't want to know what happens in the books and stories covered, proceed with caution! ***

Spoiler Example:

On Canon*

This is working archive with references to unpublished material. As a result, information may appear here that not only isn't yet in print, but may never appear in print. Because the main function of this wiki is to serve as a working reference for the author, unpublished content is subject to change as stories are developed, drafted, revised, edited, or abandoned.

*** Only material that has been formally published should be considered canon. ***

*Yes, I know. Using the word "canon" in reference to my own work is an exercise in hubris. The last laugh will no doubt be had by everyone but me.

 == On Spoilers ==
-It is the nature of a wiki that as details are added, spoilers are likely to be included as well. My initial goal with this wiki was to create a central repository of information about books, stories, and characters that will allow me to quickly find details in one location. Once I open up editing to others, it's possible even more detail may be added. All this means is if you don't want to know what happens to a character before you've read the tale in which they appear, be careful!

+Spoiler Example:
+{{#spoiler:hide=hide_message|<p>Darth Vader is Luke's father! Bruce Willis was dead the whole time! Tony Stark loves you 3000! Palpatine again, seriously? Oh good grief.</p>}}

+This is working archive with references to unpublished material. As a result, information may appear here that not only isn't yet in print, but may never appear in print.

+'''*** Only material that has been formally published should be considered canon. ***'''
+{{#spoiler:<p>Some of these non-canonical details can include character, plot, or place information that will appear in later works about things which may be already in print.</p>
+<p>For example, the character [[Ariana Roldán]] was introduced in ''[[Crossroad]]''. Her character page here in the wiki currently describes her eyes as hickory brown. Because this detail first appears in the novella-in-progress "[[The Sheepshooter's Funeral]]," until the story actually is published, her eye color is not fixed and therefore not canon.</p><p>While this kind of small detail is unlikely to change, broader plot, character background, and even landscape information remains in flux until the work where it appears is available to the public.</p>}}
+&#42;Yes, I know. Using the word "canon" in reference to my own work is an exercise in hubris. The last laugh will no doubt be had by everyone but me.

-That said, initially, there won't be ''a lot'' of information here. It's a growing document and for now, my own efforts will be more focused on writing books than writing wiki entries.
