I've managed to foul that stereotype up a bit - my (male) good guy in my novel
is called Praleyo, my (female) bad guy is called Vheratsho, and the good
guy's best (male) friend is called Rakhzha.  Rakhzha's wife is Yaria, though,
so it doesn't pay to carry too big a load of preconceptions into my
conculture.

Oh god, sometimes I think I'm playing a bit part in some B-grade soap.  While
the real drama, tragedy, comedy whathaveyou, is being played way, way off the
screeen ... ;)
