(These are not all about the Great White North, nor are they S&S Fantasy. This is a teaser list with no descriptions and by no means everything in this line I could recommend to readers who love/hate the cold. But they are all of interest to people fascinated by the subject.) | |
Who is Braise of Lepidopter? You never heard of him for the simple reason that his adventures were never published (or even written) by me. It was all a head trip in the late 1960s, and a project that never really got off the ground, although plenty of 'ancillary' materials were worked up, such as town plans and historical outlines and genealogies -- even a plot or two. The Blenkinsop site contains some Braise material: check out Braise.
