Mathias Samuel.

And it would be ultra cool if his name appeared in one of your books.

I just want to be able to keep using this name.  So my only request is that it be someone either really cool, funny, or mentioned in the background.  Glad it works out so you don't have to change it, though.   :)

Hey EUOL, thanks.  And MoD, congrats.

Heheh... Entropy doesn't fit into a fantasy novel then. Apart from a bad guy who is really pretentious.
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

Well, Lord Rian Strobe just got added to the book.  He's even got a line!  (He asks a young lady to dance.)  

I'll see what I can do with Eric when the next name shows up.

You'll have to wait a few years to see your doppelganger in print--projected publication of this particular book isn't until 2007 (though we might decided to flip it with WAY OF KINGS and publish it in 2006.)

Ooo, how 'bout my name? Sminja...just kidding. You could use Samuel Sweney, or any variation on it. I know it doesn't sound very fantasy-like, but you could try...pretty please? ;D

MoD:  Congrats!  Now I HAVE to give your son a cameo.  That would be awesome.

Okay, 'House Erikeller' just got mentioned as one of the major noble houses in the book.  They probably won't have a big part, but they are weapons merchants, which I thought you might appreciate.

Gemm, I didn't so much as give you a character as base an entire cultural dialect off of your language patterns.  They're a bunch of underground street punks who like to speak in a slang that (intentionally) confuses everyone else.  There is a character in the book from that culture, though he's a few years younger than you.

Woot. That's awesome EUOL.  I want that manuscript when you're done with it. And if you need any help with the "dialect" let me know. =P

Why thank you. :D

Oh wait, that's not supposed to be a good thing, is it?

I'm sorry . . . I just couldn't figure out a cool way to announce. And we have no scanner to post ultrasound pictures. Anyone in UT have a scanner?
