        I was reading and this sentence just popped out at me so I just had to come here and share it with you guys:

        In Blood Lines, by Tanya Huff, inspector Cantree, talking about a murder investigation, says to detective Celluci: “I want you helping Lackey and Dixon on the Griffin case.”

        Just in the unlikely case that some of you don’t know this, Mercedes Lackey and Larry Dixon are co-authors of the Mage Wars trilogy (among others): Black Gryphon, White Gryphon and Silver Gryphon.

        😆 😆 😆

          Cute! I bet she wondered how many people would pick up on that.

              Hahaha! That’s awesome.

              In one of the Anita Blake novels, there was a reference to the Pricess Bride that had me rolling on the floor.

              Read my books! Volume 1 and 2 of A Dragon Medley are available now.

              Oh my gosh, that’s hilarious!

              I forget, what else has Tanya Huff written? Her name is extremely familiar, and it seems like I’ve either read or intended to read some of her books.

              #639341

              Tanya has written a lot.

              Blood series, 6 books I believe, great series…made into a TV series as well, very cool.

              A spin off from the Blood series starting with Smoke and Shadows which has 3 books already, also good.

              Sing the Four Quarters
              The Quartered Sea
              One other I can’t remember off hand, also a good series

              Summon the Keeper
              The Second Summoning
              The Long Hot Summoning

              These three in particular are hillarious. I love Austin, Claire’s cat, sarcastic as all get out.

              Fifth Quarter and No Quarter are the other ones, I recall.

              Other novels written by Tanya Huff as far as I can remember:
              Child of the Grove
              The Last Wizard

              Valor’s Choice
              The Better Part of Valor
              The Heart of Valor

              And I think I’ve read a short story that was written by her… What Ho Magic! or something.

              None of those sound familiar, so I guess I’ve just seen her on bookshelves. Same cover artist as the Lackey-Dixons, right? Jody Lee? That’s probably why she seems more familiar than she is…
              I take it she’s pretty popular.

                She’s a great writer. I first started reading her fantasy stuff, but then got into the Blood series. Unfortunately it doesn’t look like they’re going to bring back the TV series.

                #639345

                Ya, she’s rather good… At least worth a try, if not anything else.

                And what comes to the author’s popularity… At least not in Finland. 😆 Not too many know her here.

                  I just love the fact that she is Canadian and writes about stuff in Toronto. Then I can say, “Hey, I’ve been there…” I do that with Guy Gavriel Kay books too. He’s a wonderful, relatively unknown but excellent writer (and a really, really nice person).
