Author Of Maldene.
In my Maldene series, The Farlands almost becomes a running gag.

Well, I’ve finally done it. I’ve generated a full color coded map of Maldene, complete with new higher-res map symbols, all the oceans now named, and all sorts of little extras. My next step is to figure out what to do with it. Make it available for registered users only? Maybe have it as an …

Every story has them, or at least every GOOD story has them. That one eccentric character with the quirk or odd way of behaving that draws him out to the reader’s eyes.
