I didn't get around to reading the Circle of Magic books until recently, though. I'm trying to think about what else I would have read around that time that would have had characters of color in them... I suppose some of the Tortall books did.

Email me a summary and I'll see what I can do. (Alternately, email me the manuscript, I'll read it and write a summary and then see what I can do. But I only say that because Non-Eurocentric Fantasy Epics! They are rare! And you write well! And grabby hands want to read!)
