Hey, wait just a minute here....whattaya mean, "no literary groupies?" As a proud member of KevinsWatch, I ask you - what are we? Chopped liver? We buy all of your books and even buy the audio versions, we analyze your writing down to the most minute detail, we kill more time talking about your work than we do working at our jobs! I think that qualifies us a groupies! What do you expect? Do you want a throng of rabid fans to wait at the door to try to rip your clothes off? I'm sure we can find people to do that, and that's not even talking about the women of the Watch! And no one's waiting for you to throw your underwear at us, because we all know it would just end up on eBay like your ARCs have. So I say, be grateful for what you have
- !You are not the first to correct me on this point. Perhaps I mis-stated the facts: when I wrote "groupies," I should have instead written "gropies".

I like that term better than "groupies."
I wish I had gropies.

Mark: Do you plan to include any Haruchi women in the last 2 books?
Thanks!!
OK, you got me. I am completely bumfuzzled by the sheer perseverance of this recurring question. Why in, well, Someone’s Holy Name (at the moment, I can’t think whom to invoke) do you care? Apparently a number of people do (although the GI as posted probably doesn’t reflect that fact). But I can’t imagine why.
And since I can’t imagine why….
However, please feel free to speculate as much as you want. Broadly speaking, it seems that “warrior cultures” conform to one of two basic paradigms: 1) the women are warriors as well, indistinguishable in that regard from the men (although they may serve different functions in combat), or 2) the woman are rewards, and as such, their lives have very few features in common with the men. Anyone want to guess which paradigm the Haruchai are more likely to prefer?
