Ladies, I don't want to intrude on this thread too much or interupt what's going on but I have become desperately addicted to reading Charles de Lint. It's a huge body of work and he continues to churn them out at an alarming and expensive rate. He's certainly a sidestep away from mainstream fiction but seems to be creating his own genre. Just a heads up if you've not heard of him and might be seeking new and unusual authors.
