Lookie lookie, I found this awesome illustration for my Xuya continuity story “Fleeing Tezcatlipoca” (out now in Space and Time Magazine), courtesy of Alan F. Beck.

Why I really should be careful with character names

Tags: blog, , , , No Comments »

Remember that character I mentioned, way back when I was writing Harbinger? The one to whom I gave a long and complicated name, figuring we’d never see him again, and who ended up playing a major part in Harbinger?

Well, it turns out he’s going to play a major part in book 3, too. And I’m still stuck with him…

*sigh*

PS: in case you’ve read Servant of the Underworld and are wondering… It’s Acamapichtli, the disagreeable High Priest of the Rain God. He turns out to be still disagreeable, but way too useful for plot purposes.
