Evil Defined
Epic fantasy always pits the hero/heroine-- who must do battle, sacrifice endlessly, travel to the ends of the earth to save the world--against the evil antagonist. Sound simple? It isn't. How do you define what is truly evil and is your character black and white or many shades of gray?

And lo, I am geeked.

If you're at DucKon, please don't hesitate to come up and say hello. I myself am shy and myopic and terrible with names, but this doesn't mean I don't want to talk to you.

Charlaine Harris likes The Virtu as much as she liked Mélusine.

The unsinkable Harriet Klausner also reviews The Virtu.

Reviews of Mélusine


Mélusine has also been nominated for the 2006 Gaylactic Spectrum Award. I am chuffed.

The design of Audrey II's tiny terrarium is much better than that of Audrey I's. This one has holes in the top such that small insects can actually be lured to their doom.

Audrey has caught something.

I am so geeked.
