Ron. The character you are talking about was in the second book. The miko and she was the wife of Senjin, althought this was not riveled till nick killed her. but you are right we have never talked about the books and i didn't know you liked his work. I have every book written by him and I mean the hard backs. I wish he was still writing, but after his wife dies I think it took the spark out of his writing. But at lease we both share the same author and you are right it has been over a year since we met.LOL
