Please leave me a message if I can help with anything! Thanks for the warm Welcome.

For my own research, I'm painstakingly re-reading every story and Novel (original and Pastiche) for clues to verify or modify other versions of where each book/story best fits into the chronology (if at all). I'm 7 stories and 5 books in; I own all 69 Conan books published in North America, plus the 2 trade paperback and 1 hardbound Golancz editions of the original, unedited REH stories. True there are 72 Conan books but I never bothered collecting the Flame Knife and the Tresure of Tranicos novellas because they also appeared in the original anthology collections, and I do not consider Conan the Barbarian (movie adaptation) a Conan novel, due to continuity shock. When it comes to the original stories, I'm a Howard purist, but I also feel there are some very good pastiche stories/novels out there...to go along with the bad ones. I'll try to keep my subjective interpretations out of my factual wiki contributions.

In doing some research online I came across the stub, here, for Conan the Bold and filled it out a bit...I'll do the same for the other novels/stories as I go (if they need it).

I also considered adding to the Wikipedia stub (it's anemic in it's brevity) but decided to focus my efforts here, on your themed wiki, instead.

If I miss anything or get something wrong, feel free to edit my contributions.

I'll let you know if I need a hand with anything.
