There are a lot of things to like in the Empire series. Janny did some amazing stuff there. It's a different feeling than a solo work, but there's a lot of pride involved when you get something you'd never have thought of by yourself. The stuff she did with the Thruill was brilliant; there's a Celtic influence I wouldn't have dreamed of in a thousand years that just works blended with the Asian stuff we'd already did. She helped me take the Tsurani to another level. On the other hand, I did pitch her a curveball from time to time. I'll never forget when I got a call from Janny after reading an early draft of Servant and she says, "Who is Kevin?" I said, "Trust me, I think this will work."
