Welcome to the KJ Charles Wiki
This is a wiki dedicated to the characters, books and worlds created by author KJ Charles. You can edit the content of this wiki if you find the information is lacking or wrong. (If you do, please leave a description of your edit and sign with a handle if you aren't logged in. Thx.) Or you can leave a comment and let me know and I'll fix it. :)
Spoiler Policy
There is a general SPOILER WARNING at the top of each page and that should be taken seriously. KJ's book series are loosely connected so reading about one character may possibly spoil you for another book or book series.
The wiki is meant to create a coda, if you will, for KJ Charles's books and written with the reader in mind who has read all or most (looking at you) of the back log so it is best to assume that the wiki will contain spoilers for all published books and short stories.
This (and the one up top) is the only spoiler warning you're going to get from here on out. Enjoy!
Basic Guidelines (please read)
I believe some rules are necessary as this is intended to be a community effort. I think these are reasonable:
- Do not retell a whole book. To start with I have copied the blurb from Goodreads but if you want to expand on them, feel free.
- Don't copy paste text from other sources, like Wikipedia. You may, however, link back to a Wikipedia article.
- Please source any images you add and ask permission from the artist before adding them to the wiki.
- Covers have been added in low quality on purpose (I used the same resolution they use on Goodreads), similar to Wikipedia ("The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original book cover. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork.")
- Do not quote super-long passages of the books. Rule of thumb, if it's longer than a tweet, don't.
- I haven't added a chat or a community corner here - I think the community we have at the FB-group is fine as it is. If you find this wiki via some other way why don't you join us over there (KJ Charles Chat)!
