"I have read the Okal Rel novels with great pleasure and am eagerly looking forward to the next one.  Amel is one of my favorite characters in speculative fiction, at once gifted, complex and utterly likable."

HI Brianna
I have loved Amel since I first read Courtesan Prince and then devoured the other novels and shorts just to see a bit more of him.
He is the ultimate human. He is such a great character with his contradictions; completely humble in spite of his perfect genealogy and as empathetic as a mother with his history of abuse, his doubts about his own skills when he is always more than capable.
He remains so attractive in spite of his lack of traditional male hero attributes that he actually becomes more of a hero than they could ever hope to be.
His beauty is a hindrance to him rather than an asset but it reflects what he actually is to all of his fans out in the real world, a beautiful hunk of a guy.
I know his fate is always complicated and convoluted but when Amel is vindicated all of us who have ever suffered feel vindicated as well. He is goodness overcoming the dark side in spite of his fears and doubts.
His weaknesses allow us to feel his pain and his gains yet he is so very much more than all of us. With his great big heart he is always giving more than he takes. Amel is a beautiful human and I will always love him.
Thanks for the wonderful website.
