Fantasy writer's inside joke… lol

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.

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.

[Chessapeaka]

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.

[Maripikka]

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.

[Jasmine]

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).
