Just finished Mindtouch and I wish someone had warned me that I would be thoroughly squashed by the feels train. Brilliant stuff, will be reading everything of yours I can get my hands on. Now to my question: I don't like cinnamon - is it a travesty to make nutmeg kerinne?
M.C.A. Hogarth
I think nutmeg kerinne sounds amazing, and I would love to hear how it turns out!
The thing to remember about kerinne is that it's like 'hot chocolate' or 'coffee'. Just like we have six billion coffee drinks, and hot chocolates ranging from things made with powdered cocoa and milk solids to melted hot chocolate stirred with cinnamon and chili peppers, kerinne is a base that everyone adjusts or experiments with. Chocolate kerinne, vanilla kerinne, kerinnes with different spices... all of it is a valid take on the base, which is basically butter and cream and sugar. I like to think of it as drinking a cookie dough because the initial step (of creaming butter with sugar) is the same as with a lot of cookie doughs. :)
So absolutely, make Elizabeth-style nutmeg kerinne, if you are fond of nutmeg! And thank you for the question! <3

No question, but I must tell you that it's hard for me to give 5-star ratings to novels, because I was spoiled by authors like Sherri Tepper and Lois McMaster Bujold, whose worlds came alive in my hands and made each successive novel give me the desire to reach out and grasp the occupants and cry out with joy, "How ARE you!? Oh, what a JOY to see you again! What have you up to lately?" Yours are 5 stars! THANK YOU

Your characters all seem to spring already developed onto the page! Have they been living in your head for a long time before they find the light of day? And related to this.. do you think your characters are a little reflection of some part of YOU? (Some, perhaps, not all...)
