Well, what can I say? I have some thoroughly
nice neighbours, and what's even better many of them I can call friends and professional colleagues, too. Accomplished authors like Louise Marley (who gave me one of my nicest blurbs for "Secrets of Jin Shei"), Jennifer Fallon (who gave me a blurb for "Hidden Queen"/"Changer of Days" books), Judith Tarr, Robin Hobb, Glenda Larke. And then, the other authors, the ones with whom my acquaintance is either very passing or non-existent but whom I've read and admired from afar for years - Guy Gavriel Kay, Charles de Lint, Amy Tan, Gail Tsukiyama, TOLKIEN ferchrissakes *grin*.
I'm extremely pleased at the company I'm keeping...

Spelling foibles aside, the only similarity you and he have to each other which *I* can see is that you're both poets and linguists. Now, you take a mash-up of de Lint and Tan, or of Mary Renault and Terry Pratchett, or Isabel Allende and Marion Zimmer Bradley ...
Well, any of those conglomerations would suit your work better. You're a very different writer than Tolkien--you can write actual dialogue, for one thing ...
Other than that, it's even *useful* for suggestions of writers I haven't read yet. (But Pullman? Never.)
