Ken Scholes AKA kenscholes posted an evil You Tube link, which as the 32nd daughter of Vlad Li Tam I fear I must propagate:

You do know what happens to most of Vlad Li Tam’s daughters…?

Ha. Yes. I’ve read the draft of the 2nd book. #32 doesn’t appear specifically so far as I know but that’s the one he decided I was sometime last year. *g*

Heh. You two are hee-sterical. 🙂
Never you fear: #32 is alive and well. Her moment on the stage is close at hand.
That YouTube link is made of brilliance.
