Stephen, I can't thank you enough for your kind review. I'm a big fan of Charles de Lint, who has done a lot of weaving of Fey and Native stories. But more explicitly than I've done here. And I've studied a lot of native culture, native anthropology, and history. So when I as a settler descended middle aged white guy wrote a book that touched on native issues, I wanted to be sure I did it correctly. And finding readers who were from native backgrounds was challenging. So I did my best. To have you say that I did it well, and respectfully, and even that it was breathing new life into your stories, made me a bit verklempt (to quote Mike Meyers.) Thank you so much. If you'd ever like to discuss it directly, please feel free to connect and hit me in email - eric@ericpicard.com
