In a different context, I would have said that was a contradiction, but you're RIGHT--that's exactly what Diana's books are like!Cheryl @ Tales of the Marveloushttp://marveloustales.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144605744535591088.post-9465702020243728492012-05-04T15:44:19.581-07:002012-05-04T15:44:19.581-07:00It's been so much fun reading all the DWJ post...It's been so much fun reading all the DWJ posts...I haven't read Archer's Goon in forever, and must fix that. <br /><br />And I love the conga line too!

There are some sequels or related books, as well: Conrad's Fate, House of Many Ways, and the Pinhoe Egg.
