If you're enjoying <em>Tamao</em>, you might also want to look at my other novel, <em><a href="http://www.davidchart.com/Novels/IceYearning/">Ice Yearning</a>.</em> It has a completely different setting, characters, and publication model, but no doubt certain aspects of my style carry over. You can read the first two chapters online. The rest will be released when I get more money for it; that's the different publication model part.
