I was looking up the ISBN for The Empty Kingdom and discovered that it's been seriously reamed by an Ethiopian reader. Very interesting criticism (it's actually a review of A Coalition of Lions, though he doesn't refer to the title). I'm rather taken aback at his notion that my politics are shamelessly Eritrean Apologist.

I'd worry more if the majority of us over here were big readers. ;)

In grad school one of my professors always said to write as if your relatives were illiterate - nine times out of ten they don't actually read your work anyway. I'm sure it'll hold true in this case... unless you're published by a UK publisher this time?

probably good advice, if a little dangerous. most of my relatives DON'T read my work!
