Read it, loved it, thought it deserved to garner a lot of attention. Should
anyone want to support Katie Waitman, and not find it at zir local book
store, signed copies are still available through moi.
<p><B><i>The Merro Tree </i>by Katie Waitman</b><br>
<br>Del Rey PBO, $5.99.<br>
<br>In <i>The Merro Tree</i>, the first human doesn't appear until about
1/3 of the way through the story. The main character, Mikk, is humanoid,
but different in subtle ways. He is an incredibly sensitive individual, who
can sense the slightest nuance of color, sound, etc. This makes it a
struggle to survive his childhood, but eventually makes him the greatest
performance master in the galaxy. Mikk and a variety of colorful supporting
characters are rendered very likeably, while remaining alien. Waitman has a
touch of Jo Clayton's ability to immerse readers in alien cultures. Signed
copies available.<br>
