Steele clearly knows how to weave together complex story lines, and the dialogue throughout the book felt rich and convincing. He also demonstrates a willingness to tackle difficult subject matter without shying away from it, which I respect.
Overall, this is the kind of fantasy you can sink into without emotional whiplash or relentless grimness. The adventure unfolds steadily, the characters are enjoyable company, and the world hints at more stories still waiting to be told.

Under Vixen’s Mere is one of those novels that quietly gets under your skin and then refuses to leave.
From the opening pages, the prose immediately stood out to me. It’s spare without ever feeling sparse—clean, confident, and quietly assured. Dialogue and description are held in careful balance, each doing its work without calling attention to itself. Nothing strains for effect, and that sense of restraint builds trust early on, inviting the reader to settle in and follow where the story leads.
I don’t remember it but it soundslike a neat idea! I am sure lots of people would be interested. Unfortunately until my MBA is over I don’t have time for recreational writing! Maybe afterwards though…
I don’t know Alchera, but I might be interested in cafewriting.com – work etc permitting.
Michele sent me to see what Miss Meliss is cooking up :-)

I’m perpetually clueless, so have never even heard of Alchera. However, it sounds like a spiffy idea, and I’d be happy to toddle along if you decided to start hosting something similar.
It’s been far too long since I’ve flexed my writerly muscles, anyway. I do believe they’ve gotten flabby and soft.
Alchera must have pre-dated my arrival in the blogging world.
But the premise sounds interesting.
I’m always open to try a new writing community site, and “cafewriting” sounds particularly enticing.
Meeeeeeeee!
this sounds interesting to me. Please let me know if you decide to do it.
Sounds interesting….
I’m definitely interested.
Would it fall on a certain day? That’s the only conflict I might have. My Monday & Wednesday have specific themes.

I remember the Alchera Project very well. Granted that was a few blogs ago for me. Back when I was still on LiveJournal.
Anyway, that was exactly what led me to your blog. I was doing a search for Alchera Project to see if it was still around.
I would definitely love to participate.
