					<description><![CDATA[No worries, Glenda, it was fun.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;You&#039;re right about the Age of the Dragon. Having followed it&#039;s little link, it looks like it&#039;s the imprint. You&#039;re in good company with them too - quite a few other big shot western names popped up. ;-)]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Pity that you can&#039;t get some sales figures though - if only so you could negotiate a better deal for the next sale of rights, heh.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Fascinating fentezi-sagi author sounds pretty cool to me. :o)]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Thank you, Tsana - that&#039;s lovely of you. Although I think Smell Evil was a more fun title - Lol!&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I think the Age of the Dragon refers to the imprint or something similar, not the name of the trilogy because the other site I checked definitely said the trilogy was called Isles of Fame.&lt;BR/&gt;Hey, now I can see my name is bigger than the title! I&#039;ve made it big time in Moscow, eh?&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Gillian, I shall sit back in the panel and let you tell everyone how it REALLY was back then, while I occasionally interject to say, &quot;Ah, but I write fiction!&quot;  Why do you think I chose that panel? YOur name was already in there! *g*]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[After a bit of Russian googling, I found a better cover art http://www.ozon.ru/multimedia/books_covers/1000532649.jpg from &lt;A HREF=&quot;http://www.ozon.ru/context/detail/id/3318443/&quot; REL=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;ozon.ru&lt;/A&gt; (ozon.ru is the Russian equivalent of Amazon, as far as I can tell)&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Also, if you would like a more sensible translation of the blurb (or at least the blurb they give there), here goes:&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;B&gt;The Scent of Evil&lt;/B&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;(from the series &quot;Age of the Dragon&quot; which is a bit of a stretch from &quot;Isles of Glory&quot;... As far as I can recall there was a grand total of ZERO dragons in the trilogy.)&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;A world of islands, whose peoples never mix with each other...&lt;BR/&gt;A world of tiny kingdoms, constantly forming alliances and waging wars...&lt;BR/&gt;A world in which for many centuries there were two schools of magic - the Silv, who believe that magic should only be used for good and the Dun, who commune with the darker side of magic. Until recently the two sides believed that a tenuous peace was better than a good fight... But now, on the distant island of Gorthan, Grand Master Dun-mage Morthred gains power and dreams of ruling over all the islands, however, in the middle archipelago, the Silv-magi who call themselves the Keepers are gaining strength and also dream of power.&lt;BR/&gt;While Morthred lives, while the Keepers are powerful, there will not be peace. But will the mercenary Blaze, who has been gifted with protective magic, and her off-siders - the princess-enchantress and the cursed, banished murderer - simultaneously slay the forces of light and the powers of evil?&lt;BR/&gt;Read the second book of the fascinating fantasy-saga from the author of &#039;Havenstar&#039;*&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Well... that was... interesting. Not quite how I remember the book being in English.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;*The Russian title for &quot;Havenstar&quot; translates as &quot;Star of Hope&quot;]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After a bit of Russian googling, I found a better cover art <a href="http://www.ozon.ru/multimedia/books_covers/1000532649.jpg" rel="nofollow ugc">http://www.ozon.ru/multimedia/books_covers/1000532649.jpg</a> from <a HREF="http://www.ozon.ru/context/detail/id/3318443/" REL="nofollow">ozon.ru</a> (ozon.ru is the Russian equivalent of Amazon, as far as I can tell)</p>
<p>Also, if you would like a more sensible translation of the blurb (or at least the blurb they give there), here goes:</p>
<p><b>The Scent of Evil</b></p>
<p>(from the series &#8220;Age of the Dragon&#8221; which is a bit of a stretch from &#8220;Isles of Glory&#8221;&#8230; As far as I can recall there was a grand total of ZERO dragons in the trilogy.)</p>
<p>A world of islands, whose peoples never mix with each other&#8230;<br />A world of tiny kingdoms, constantly forming alliances and waging wars&#8230;<br />A world in which for many centuries there were two schools of magic &#8211; the Silv, who believe that magic should only be used for good and the Dun, who commune with the darker side of magic.

<p>Well&#8230; that was&#8230; interesting. Not quite how I remember the book being in English.</p>
<p>*The Russian title for &#8220;Havenstar&#8221; translates as &#8220;Star of Hope&#8221;</p>
