He's actually an artist as well, did two of my covers; but the world he has created is the product of twenty years or more of imagining, mapping, drawing, creating locales, technologies, environments and finally, characters. The process is reminiscent of Tolkien's or Mervyn Peake's, but the results are absolutely, utterly different from either. Nevertheless, I think it is probably fair to say that they all share the characteristic that the brilliance of the setting is a large part of the charm of the work. I was in correspondence with the author about some basic writing techniques. I will be very interested to read him. I would be delighted to see your take on David Cornish, Jonathan.

This is somewhat different from Eidolon, but I'm really happy to see it get to publication. There's some good stuff in there. Even you might like it, Russ <g>. It has indeed.
