G'day,
I am *very excited* to hear Ingo's news that Penny's "The Widow's
Tale" is finally being published!
I had the privilege of reading it many years ago in manuscript, and I
can tell you not only is it a great read, it's a great **Gloranthan**
read: Penny really gets it. ...And big kudos to Ingo et al for
making it happen.
My favorite bit is the Humakti "ambush", but I shouldn't give cool
parts away. You might say I am biased because Penny is a good friend
of mine (even though this announcement has come as a total surprise),
but I cannot recommend this highly enough.
Cheers,
MOB
