What a treat that would be! I actually despise the romance genre in general. How about action-packed psychological thriller/traditional fantasy/non-traditional romance...I think that better describes most of your novels. <BR/><BR/> BTW, the best erotica is comedy, not fantasy...more real, according to my sensibilities. And fantasy cover art in general needs to be less GQ and more ruggedly approachable, but that's just so I won't be embarrassed reading them in public at my age. I ask too much and I know these things are difficult to accomplish, but one can hope. Please consider writing a short story or three between novels, as the muse allows...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-757509958916289741.post-49005741382605569182008-01-18T13:07:00.000-07:002008-01-18T13:07:00.000-07:00Re: Elemental MagicWould I do it again?

Entirely satisfying. You are a breath of fresh air continually and I love being surprised as I travel with your characters in your worlds. Please keep creating grown-up, complex-but-concise traditional fantasy with none-too-tidy endings. <BR/> Speaking of which, since Disney erotica and romantic ghost tales are not my cup of tea, I did not enjoy any of the other three adolescent-level stories in Elemental Magic. I left two unread since the conclusions were obvious and the stories amateurish. I had a feeling this would be the case when you described them as "different." I hope your works are never published together with such drivel again. You are too good.<BR/> I can't wait to follow the progress of this new work on this blog. Sorry if I flamed a bit, but I'm all about truth and I confess to relishing the opportunity to act the acerbic critic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-757509958916289741.post-535594462410527302008-01-18T08:47:00.000-07:002008-01-18T08:47:00.000-07:00Hi Karen!Yep, I dabbled with both and liked the bl...Hi Karen!<BR/><BR/>Yep, I dabbled with both and liked the blogspot look better.<BR/><BR/>Nope, it's not one book per major character. They're the center of Book 1, and another central character (female) takes the stage in Book 2. <BR/><BR/>Carolcarolwriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01256696323017219424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-757509958916289741.post-73665802534451369482008-01-18T06:05:00.000-07:002008-01-18T06:05:00.000-07:00Hi, Carol!

I'm on Live Journal <A HREF="http://karen-w-newton.livejournal.com/" REL="nofollow">here</A> but I have a Google account which lets me comment on Blogger sites with my own name.<BR/><BR/>Congrats on the book deal. I didn't realize broody necromancer got three books. Or is it one book per major character?<BR/><BR/>karenCarmen Webster Buxtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08516485172937482027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-757509958916289741.post-78563433160221877402008-01-18T00:26:00.000-07:002008-01-18T00:26:00.000-07:00This is maybe way too easy.

I took it in high school, but I can't recite much beyond <I>amo</I>, <I>amas</I>, <I>amat</I> and <I>veni</I>, <I>vidi</I>, <I>vici</I>. Of, course, you get into it, and you can read 99% of the words just because English is so closely derived from it.carolwriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01256696323017219424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-757509958916289741.post-70575361407529064172008-01-17T23:45:00.000-07:002008-01-17T23:45:00.000-07:00Thanks for sharing.
