Honestly I had so much fun writing this. This and the sequel trilogy are my love letter to Leiber, Moore, early Martha Wells, Barbara Hambly, and the swashbuckling like.

It's not just cancer: it's arterial disease, COPD, cognitive issues. I was raised by a heavy smoker. When I moved out I gained the ability to taste food, and also noticed how everything I owned smelled like an ashtray.
