(laugh)<br /><br />Jason - I wish I had written that comparison a little better, but I didn't want to turn to focus away from Blaggard's Moon. Suffice to say that they are both among the favorites in my library.Keanan Brandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12638962927055276969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1656035854180770700.post-69968093218814058632009-04-21T17:37:00.000-05:002009-04-21T17:37:00.000-05:00Good comparison to The Princess Bride book - very ...Good comparison to The Princess Bride book - very apropros.

(I was the kid who really did read the dictionary for fun!)<br /><br />As for the word getting out, I am going to do my part, that's certain. When a book really grabs me, I talk about it to just about everyone. (When I copy edited, I'd be talking up books before they ever hit the press -- but only, as previously stated, if they grabbed me.) I'll be checking out the trilogy, too.Keanan Brandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12638962927055276969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1656035854180770700.post-72450382062385235582009-04-20T21:01:00.000-05:002009-04-20T21:01:00.000-05:00Thanks for the etymology of Blaggard.

Only the method of our laziness seems to have changed! ;-)<br /><br />I'm glad you weren't disappointed, Keanan. Sometimes the books we most look forward to are the ones that have the hardest time living up to our expectations. <br /><br />I really do hope the word gets out about this book. It's masterfulin its characterizations and unique in its story structure.<br /><br />A real joy to tour.<br /><br />BeckyRebecca LuElla Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06823550402103559922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1656035854180770700.post-86941107358002429542009-04-20T18:40:00.000-05:002009-04-20T18:40:00.000-05:00Hi Keanen,
