		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve come to a hard decision. I have to cut a subplot to make the novel work better, so it&#8217;s good-bye to Tulip and Jones, for now. I&#8217;ll be revising the scenes so that Maven will act them out, and Jones will have to fall through the Veil at another time, unless I decide to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[However, once a reader gets past the fairy tales that have been cleaned up to be moral tales for children, one finds a tremendous body of material on various kinds of water beings. One of these is the water nixie--a.k.a.  knucker, neck, sprite, sylph, siren, Lorelei, mermaid, melusine, or water-man.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I started doing research for Maven, most of the fairy tales I knew involved girls who were set upon by their stepmothers, girls who had no mothers present. Even Disney&#8217;s Sleeping Beauty is separated from her mother, to be raised by three silly fairies. Cinderella, Snow White, Beauty, Rapunzel, and even Little Red Riding [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Traditionally speaking, the audience for science fiction has always been teen-age boys, and for fantasy, both teen-age boys and girls&#8211;perhaps explaining the phenomenal success of the Harry Potter novels. Rowling has created an incredibly detailed fantasy world that lies just a step away from the mundane muggle world, a world that is saved seven times [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[And they were married and lived happily ever after.  Yeah. Right. My interpretation of the most popular of these stories&#8211;Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White was &#8220;if you&#8217;re a good girl (stupidly naive), and you wait long enough (while keeping your tormentor&#8217;s house clean), he will come.&#8221; The other variation is Beauty and the Beast, in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many stories end in the glow of new love, of new circumstances, of riches after poverty, of power after powerlessness. That is a good plaace to stop a bedtime story, but many of the older, longer versions of Cinderella type stories in particular, there are continuing problems.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I've always loved fractured fairy tales and it was  time to start my writing career. Maven Morrigan was born on a pre-internet BBS, and just grew from there. Most of what happens with Maven is true, except that it didn't happen in just that way to those people in that order. ]]></description>
