I hate my brain.

Overexposure to the Mageworlds books is strongly advised against.

Mostly 'cause it leads to Tarnekep Portree wandering in and making himself at home. Which he did the first time through the books, but faded a bit because I'd gone and betrayed my military sci-fi roots with fantasy authors. Until I started up my long running abusive relationship with Weber-the-Bastard again, and all the old mil-tech muses sprang back to life.
And I don't have Beka Rosselin-Metadi in here. I have Tarnekep Portree, Captain of Pride of Mandeyn and part-time assassin, all-round Cold Bastard.

Which is fine and good, he and Princess Deirdre of Amber/Diarmund Griffith get along just fine. (Don't ask. Blame a very long night.)

But then Cap'n Portree discovered my newest jacket, and next thing I knew . . . .

*jerks head towards a lanky, eye-patched man wearing a biker-jacket as he's browsing the library* Meet Captain Wolfe Sinclair. Unabashed privateer, sharpshooter and given to cheerful acts of 'salvage' from pirates.
