Johann Thorsson made a comment on Char ’s status in More Than Human " I really liked this. The story is in the telling, meaning that I really liked the prose but found the plot itself somewhat confusing. "

Johann Thorsson answered a question about Whitesands: I won this book last October in a giveaway on here and it said it got shipped in February but I haven't received it yet. WTF any suggestions to find out what going on with it? Hi Shawn, Can you give me your address and I'll send you a copy myself (instead of asking the publisher to do so). My email is johann.thorsson@gmail.com - just send it there. I'll have it shipped to you right away. Sorry again for the failed giveaway, I See Full Answer
