I'm actually quite fascinated by Islamic history, including the Ottomans. <BR/><BR/>So will the Turkemen be in Lamplighter or Book 3 or not until some later work?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29654538.post-73678576064450806232007-12-12T16:25:00.000+10:302007-12-12T16:25:00.000+10:30Hey, thanks for the compliment on the character. L...Hey, thanks for the compliment on the character. Looking back over it, I was a bit embarrassed by how long it turned out to be, but somehow I didn't think you, of all people, would be upset by detail :)<BR/><BR/>The first book of The Coming Evil is out, but mainly online. I've had friends in Canada and England order it (and one from Oz, I believe) from Amazon so it is AVAILABLE, but not Greg Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09631434183155875197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29654538.post-30858522158333882192007-12-12T15:50:00.000+10:302007-12-12T15:50:00.000+10:30Actually, Mr Mooseguy, my notions for the Turkemen...Actually, Mr <B>Mooseguy</B>, my notions for the Turkemen are most closely influenced by the Ottomans, yet I thought to give them the unusual trait of white-blond or mikly coloured hair - just to mix things about a bit. No genuis leap or anything, just messing with expectations. So you were spot on (or near enough) with your sense of who the Turkemen are; I have as yet to really mention anything D.M.

What a fun idea and an incredible privilege! I'd thought of a similar idea to employ for my "The Coming Evil" series once the other books start coming out and the mythology gets more fleshed-out and better known. Here's my shot at a character. While I tried to read up on as much as I could of the HC, there's bound to be some errors so, if you Greg Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09631434183155875197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29654538.post-49050260746384443672007-12-12T07:47:00.000+10:302007-12-12T07:47:00.000+10:30Ahh, Mooseguy, here we find a nefarious fellow des...Ahh, <B>Mooseguy</B>, here we find a nefarious fellow descended from those covetous Turkemen to the north - though one of pure heritage would have white-blonde hair. <BR/><BR/>I am digging the notion of a future HC - indeed, it was actually a future version of it that I first starting inventing way back in '93. It was my reading of history that got all fixated with the type of setting it is D.M.
