Lines: 15 Her name is MacAvoy, and it said she was a she on the back cover of Damiano. I'm in the middle of Damiano, well, actually, very near the end. I thought the book started out slowly, but I as I read I find the story and the character of Damiano more and more interesting. Tea With The Black Dragon is MacAvoy's 1st novel, and it's nice. Nothing spectacular, but it's a new idea, with an eccentric old lady, a dragon turned human, computers and computer crime. It's worth reading if you like your SF with a fantasy flair (or your fantasy with an SF flair, for that matter). Ariel Shattan
