silverwolfer: I believe you're asking about Mirror from the Haunted Lands. If so, he served the incarnation of the god of the sun active at the time his civilization flourished.
Just a quick question. Are the Rashemi black or dark brown-skinned? It’s just that I always thought of them as the latter, and someone brought up in a different scroll that they’re black. AFAIR, it’s never been mentioned in Prophet of the Dead that they’re black. Perhaps I missed it?
I avoid political matters in forums, for (I suppose) obvious reasons. But now that you have brought it up, I am in favor of amending the law and just prohibit all civilians from buying, possessing, and carrying firearms. The Americans face greater problems than dealing with psychopaths who think firing guns is like playing Resident Evil.
May have to make a trip to O-town that Saturday... I'll be working Memorial Day, unfortunately, and my parents have company coming in on Sunday that I should go by and see, but my Saturday might be free...
If you pay attention to news from inside publishing, you may be aware that the Night Shade Books line is going through a transition that has slowed the release of new titles and the making of new deals. This, however, does not mean that the Night Shade authors have been idle. If you'd like to find out what some of us are currently up to, go here:
Richard, have you thought about covering Michael Moorcock's essay "Epic Pooh" in your blog or night-bazaar articles? While the essay is rather old, it seems to resurface from time to time (as recent as 2009) on fantasy-inspired blogs.

Wooly, very glad you enjoyed a novel that's particularly near and dear to my heart. Thanks for taking the time to tell me so.
Entro, I have not thought of that specifically, but I might look into it. If I do write about it, it will probably end up on my blog. I was asked to write for the Night Bazaar for a certain period of time, and I served my hitch. To date, no one has asked me to re-up. Not too surprising, since Night Shade Books is going through a transitional period, and things have slowed down in general. I'm hoping it will turn out that the line has a bright future and the editor will want sequels to Blind God's Bluff, but at this point, it's impossible to predict.
Interesting. Is it limited only to those three shows? I honestly couldn't care for them. Though I suppose if this succeeds, they will branch out to other shows. And yes, I understand your concern about its "effects" to pro writers.
Hi, Dennis. As best I recall, no. Two different kinds of worms.
Okay. It makes sense. It probably would seem odd otherwise. I mean, Biri is a capable wizard and all that, but Samas is a zulkir, and while he's hardly the most powerful of the lot, he's still formidable in his own. Granted, "his" worm had the element of surprise, while Biri was prepared to be "eaten"; still, one would assume he should have had enough protection against the worm. Given that it's two different kinds of worms, it's probably safe to assume Samas's killer was bigger, hungrier, and deadlier.
There is a rumour going around that I have found god. I think is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist. Terry Pratchett
