Bibliography and links to more info on the Maya

The following is a list of the books, videos and websites I used in researching the Nightkeepers’ world. If you have a reference you’d like to recommend I check out, please email me the info! Similarly, let me know if/when any of the links are broken. I’ll try to keep them up to date, but you know how it is. This list will be updated approximately quarterly, to reflect the new resources used in each of the books.
