Isaac asked Jay Bell:

This question contains spoilers… (view spoiler)

Jay Bell Orbsen is based on the Celtic god Manannan mac Lir, and his different guises reflect how he was portrayed in various myths. The raft guise is one of the stranger ones, since Manannan was said to sometimes disguise himself in rags. I took some creative liberty with this, incorporating imagery from a dream I had, to come up with the raft guise. I'm pretty sure the myths were implying that he disguised himself as a beggar, but who knows. At least one story describes him as wearing the old striped clothes of a clown, so that could have been an influence too. Sorry to keep you waiting for what is ultimately a very strange answer. LOL

Do you know that "Something about autumn" on Kindle is actually a duplicate copy of "Something about summer"? I am already at book 7 and I still feel like I have missed a chunk of the story without Jace's background story. Could you just kick a little Kindle ass for me and get them to set Jace's history free? Love your work....... And of course, waiting with baited breath for Jace!!!

Jay, hi! Could you tell me if, or when, "Come se fosse estate" will be available on Amazon? It's showing there, but it says "unavailable". Thanks! And, btw, happy belated birthday! ;-)
