Janny's contribution was huge. She's a painter and she had visited Korea and had so many ideas that fleshed out the culture. What I had done in the Rifwar as give the Tsurani a slight depth of culture, but kept it pretty much from Pug's point-of-view (or Laurie and Kasumi, a little) and that allowed me to treat the Tsurani like "aliens," with a Kingdom pov dominated. With the Empire series, I had to go deep within the culture and Janny had so many good ideas. I never would have written the wedding scene, or the scene in Mistress where Mara goes among the Thuril and the Cho-Ja.
It was a true collaboration.
Best, R.E.F.
