Diana Wynne Jones, I think?
News:
Max is a Shadowblade, a supernatural--and supernaturally competent--warrior bound to protect her witch Giselle. As a Shadowblade, Max doesn't age. She is better, faster, stronger than any ordinary human being. And she hates it. Giselle betrayed her trust to make Max what she is, and though she is magically compelled to protect Giselle and follow orders, Max works against her witch in every way she can.

I was amused.
I had that experience with Isaac Asimov.
On a related note, have you noticed that some writers aren't so hot at reading out loud? I got the audiobook of Wild Magic by Tamora Pierce (which is done by Full Cast Audio, so each character is done by a different actor) and the whole time I was thinking, "Man, this narrator is kind of painful to listen to," and then at the end when they did the credits I realized the narrator was Tamora Pierce. Whoops.

Are you going to wear your "Incalculable" T-shirt? (Or has Brandon bestowed a new adjective upon you?)
