Xar, now we just need a voice clip of you saying that Monty Python translation linked up here and all will be right with the world. Ok? :wink:

Fist, since North Star is in the Twin Worlds setting, did you read Ghostblood? It's not a necessary requirement (uh...right Xar?), but it is a terrific story.

It's in the second KW Anthology.

Part of it, and some interesting commentary from Xar as he wrote it, is in the Hall of Gifts.

And btw Joy herself has been nominated in a Readers Poll for best editor. You know what a brilliant editing job she's done on the Anthology, so you can vote for her here:

How on earth have I missed this thread until now?? Thank you, everyone. BECOMING ELIJAH will be an EPPIE nominee next year.

I should be writing to my partners about finding a permanent printer, I should be critiquing a collection of reviews that have come in in the last 2 weeks, I should be writing a review of a historical...

Oh, and I should be doing the speed read on MASHU: A BOY OF ALL TIME and first edits on FLOATING UNDER A RED BERET...

To all my valued friends out there, I haven't forgotten you!!
