   There are quite a few around nowadays.  Some off the top of   
   my head: Mike Carey’s Felix Castor; Justin Gustainis’s Stan   
   Markowski; Tad Williams’s Bobby Dollar; Thomas E.   
   Sniegoski’s Remy Chandler; Kathleen Tierney’s Siobhan   
   Quinn; Jaye Wells’s Kate Prospero; Ari Marmell’s Mick   
   Oberon; Tim Waggoner’s Matt Richter; And of course Simon R.   
   Green’s John Taylor.

   holes to root for sandtatties.  The waves whispered   
   rhythmically over the packed sand: haggisss, haggisss,   
   haggisss.
