Ooooh! Can I write a book about Andoria?

I've sent Email to the original creator of this world, regarding your offer. I'm sure he will be condusive, but I'm sure he'd want to provide you his background information on the Islands of Andoria, first. Let me see what he says. No matter what, thanks for the offer!

As the person who commissioned the map, I'd be happy to let you write about the Andorians if you wish.

Right now I haven't done much for them other than give them their island home, and establish their staunch resistance to Imperial aggression.

There is a wiki which documents as much of the world of Edara as I've had time to put on paper, as well as details added by the denizens thereof.

I'll continue this by private email.

D'oh. I'm sorry, I was just being playful. My nickname here, "Ghalev," is a reference to a book about another Andoria I wrote a few years ago (along with groovy co-author Steve Long):

Ah, I see! I must have lifted the name by accident. I hadn't intended to swipe a Trek name, but odd things get stuck in ones head, only to be pulled out when a random name is required.

I always have trouble with names. It may be a common thing, but no name I make up for a city or town ever seems "right" to me. If someone else makes it, it's fine, but if I do it...

I think there are, really, only so many sensible-sounding names available in fantasy, so it's inevitable that we re-use a few now and then.
