Well, that's a change of pace to have an actually published fantasy novelist to counterbalance all us poseurs, wanabes, and future-fantasy-novelists (such as may be the case, and I mean that in the most loving way I can say it... being one in heart and mind and purpose with all those as well). There's at least 4 of us, that I'm aware of.

So, a hearty welcome to you, then.
