But I would like to see UF go global--not in the globalization (which I'm doing in a first book,) but go on vacation to these other places. There's such a wealth of inspiration available from other mythologies.
But it's almost like you have to leave the UF subgenre to find that or go small press. The DETECTIVE CHEN series is set in future China, heavily based in Chinese mythology. AS FATE DECREES is a new Canadian book set in Athens, Greece. Still, future and past.
Maybe in this PC world where LJ is ready to point out race issues we're all a little leery about "getting it wrong."
