I think I've read all of his available works - at least, I've read all that I've been able to find, including all those on Muffy's list and maybe a few others. I'll have to look through my collection when I get home and see if there are any I could add to the list. The only book/series I thought was less interesting than the rest was the Four Lords of the Diamond series. By the time I got to the fourth, I had pretty much lost interest, but I finished them just to see how they came out. I've read the Well of Souls series several times, and I think it's his best (especially the first book - Midnight at the Well of Souls). The Web of the Cozen was also very good, particularly because of the somewhat unusual ending.
