The keeping of names

[julesjones]

Apparently my friend Daniel Fox, he of the Chinese-inspired fantasy trilogy I have raved about, is now permitted to tell the world his true name, that being Chaz Brenchley. Or as Chaz says on his LJ today,

"It's hardly news that Daniel Fox is not in fact a wan fey boy with fabulous cheekbones whom I wickedly keep chained up in the attic (alas). That I am Daniel and he is me has been described as the worst-kept secret on the internets. And yet, and yet: I do keep tripping over people who haven't twigged. So, yup. I am he and he is me, we are one flesh."

The middle volume of the trilogy, Jade Man's Skin, is released next month. I got to see an ARC, which I liked rather a lot. It's available for pre-order in all the usual places...

Hey, cool!

The first book suddenly goes on my to-read list.

It was driving me nuts when I reviewed the first book, because what I really wanted to say was "This book does all the things that I like about Chaz's writing, and if you've liked any of his other stuff go and get this *right* *now*" -- and I couldn't. :-)
