Did you know that Vlad Tepes was a hostage at the court of the Grand Turk in his youth? His younger brother was there even longer. I can't say my fictive mind hasn't lingered over that little fact from time to time. ;)

Oh man, that's a promising one. Have you been writing fiction lately? It'd be great if you did.

Historical music is something I'm getting into a lot - I have a terrific CD of music of the köçek--dancing boys of the Ottoman days. It's beautiful stuff, very sexy.
