(The) Strangely Wonderful (Tale of Count Balashazy)

transpixel The cover for Strangely Wonderful.  I gave Count Balashazy, my Hungarian pirate king, a southern plantation house in Madagascar.  I gave Dagny, my naturalist heroine, a vastly ornate Parisian wardrobe.  So what if they're in the middle of a "barbaric jungle"?  I was weary of living in huts and tents, so I gave them some glamour. transpixel

transpixel My pirate editor, Cindy Vallar.  She said I couldn't give poor Tomaj Balashazy a three-story glass house in the middle of the jungle.  "Why not?" I asked.  "What if it's raining out, and he wants to sit inside and look out at the jungle?"

He's a pirate king, and can do whatever he wants." transpixel
