Love the meme meme bit.

Also love your work. Picked up Law of Survival a year ago in an airport bookstore. Read it until the binding gave way and the pages fell out. Bought a replacement through amazon and discovered I was a fool... and bought the other three read them in the course of 7 days. Want them in hard cover.

Your writing reminds me of my favorite fantasy author, PC Hodgel. You both craft very vivid characters. As a military man, I've worked for Jani's ancestors. I feel I know her. I look forward to your future books and a chance to meet you at a con one day.

I'll stop now, lest I gush overmuch...

I tend to pick up every meme and quiz that comes along.

You're the second person who's mentioned finding LAW in an airport.

Glad you enjoyed all the books. At this point, only CODE has a hardcover edition, which came out from SFBC. There is also a Russian edition from AST, but I don't know if that's still available.

I'm really glad to hear that Jani worked for you. Not having a military background, I had to wing it where her personality was concerned. I set out trying to construct a character who didn't belong in the Service, but I've run into enough ex and current military who think she fits in just fine. Just has a problem with authority is all.

Oh, that's ok. Gushing is part of what keeps me in the office pounding the keyboard.
