The main reason for this is so I could keep saying dragonwagon. Say it. It's a fine word. In fact it's a name. But! There is also my deep thoughts on Maid Hakkai, Edwardian vampires and my Sweet Charity story (which has a working title of Monsters).

I finally listened to this after downloading it last week. It was so much fun - your delivery made it sound like you were sharing marvellous, tasty secrets with us.

(Somehow when you spoke of Thomas traveling to the Badlands in America and found other vampires, I found myself thinking "And Kou and his folks are those vampires ... they're Native American vampires." But I think that's just because of Kougaiji's lovely coppery complexion.)

And kelpie!Gojyo! > love < (Have you read R.A. MacAvoy's The Grey Horse?)

We actually had a book by Ms. Dragonwagon when my daughter was small: Half a Moon and One Whole Star. It was a very soothing, poetic bedtime book about all the intresting but unthreatening things that can happen at night, anything from small animals' coming out to rummage around to a jazz musican's late homecoming after working a club.

"And Kou and his folks are those vampires ... they're Native American vampires."

That is such a cool idea, thank you. *ponders*

I haven't read The Grey Horse, but would like to. Most of my reading on kelpies so far has been in the form of website entries and translations of random folk tales. I love how the idea of a water sprites is in so many cultures, possibly because of the importance of water? And water is quite a mysterious magical thing all by itself.

Ms Dragonwagon's books sounds delightful, actually. I'm glad!
