Oh, by the way
There is a substantial amount of plot information in the Firebrand chronicles article. This leads me to suspect you may be the author of the book.

You do realize that, by putting this information on Wikipedia, you have licensed it under GFDL and granted other editors the right to use your ideas freely--including for profit--with at most an acknowledgment that you were the source of the ideas? —C.Fred (talk) 17:48, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
