I love Tale of Two Cities, but otherwise I’m not a big Dickens fan. I just started Les Miserables, its brilliant! I don’t get to read as often as I used to, and I can’t touch SF anymore. I can’t get into the story, I just see the author’s choices in writing technique.
Wow, a pig character! Is it common within your books mythology for animals to take on human roles, or is he unique?
no, I was joking with kraftiekortie about the piggy, sorry. I kind of like the idea though, but I don't think it would stand up to full novel yet alone a series. Are your's all stand alones?

Most of the last book took place on the alien asteroid/space station, so the scenery was just ... caves. My editor and I joked we’d end up with vitamin D deficiency by the time we were done. I only had one fully human main character, everyone else was hybrid or alien- it was heck punctuating dialogues with two wildly different, concurrent forms of communication. I purposely never described details of the physical characteristics of my aliens, beyond that humans considered them ugly. I thought my readers could do the job for themselves using their own imaginations.
Great, I hate it when writers describe every detail and don't allow the reader to contribute.

If you happen to be a Doctor Who fan, I picture them as grown-up Adiposes.
No, I was terrified as a small child by Daleks, and back then they couldn't climb stairs.
