Loved the trilogy. Tony is a wonderful character, and very much like Eve, and Pran -- accomplishing amazing things by perseverance and almost total lack of rest. I read a recent forum thread about an online story "Human Phoenix" where a kid gets superpowers and spends the whole story tryin...

I was thinking more of people deciding that tropes are forbidden. When they aren't meant to disparage the idea used, simply explain what's happening. :) Well, no, the tropes are not forbidden. They only suck when done badly. A Mary Sue can be enjoyable, as long as some subtlety is used in creating ...

As much as I liked the windrose books by hmably, I take extreme issue to her trying to charge as much for each short story as most authors do a full book. I refuse to pay 3.99 to 4.99 for 30-40 page short story. I'm guessing she's betting on the fact that most people don't look at the page counts b...

One of the most impressive powers of the Greater Demons is the ability to interpret the world of (mostly) human senses (I ignore the perception of rifts, etc.) through superhuman analysis. The way Keeley can determine that a door was recently closed by the faint patterns in dust on the floor, or rea...

All of them so far are communicated through bodily fluids, so that one isn't that hard to see. It really isn't that prophetic. Not that one. Have read The Lament series? The basi...

I was just rereading Road Blocks , chapter 10. In it, Zack delivered a crate of medicine to a tropical village full of sick and half-dead people. The illness is then described as hemorrhagic decease; contagious through bodily fluids. Eerily prophetic. On a lighter note -- a funny earlier reference t...

I guess this is the first post, other than the "test post" in this forum. Demon Girl was the first P.S. Power book I read, and I loved it. I was not thrilled with the abysmal editing, careless spelling, odd punctuation, etc. (Your and you're are NOT interchangeable.) But the story was fun...
