The name game- Jamethiel

I was challenged by @artemisnorth to explain my name.

35 years ago I picked up a book by PC Hodgell called God Stalk at a used bookstore in Virginia. The main character was named Jamethiel and generally was a chaos attractor. At one point she tries to do a simple magic to cause bread to rise faster and it ends up growing rudimentary organs instead.

When the second book came out and the opening chapter has her accidentially setting a blizzard on fire in order to escape some bandits, I knew I was going to love this character.

The girl with a sword from the cover of the second book or the girl in blowing cloak from the back of the first book's hardcover edition have been my avatars since the internet began allowing avatars.

There are currently 6 books in the series and I love following her adventures as the author is among the most creative I have ever read. I Highly recommend the series.

The main character is growing up and into her abilities, and while magic is not a skill of hers, creating opportunities where there were none IS a skill. And I appreciate that in a good book.

2- My real name is Jennifer. There are a MILLION Jennifers in the world. I wanted a fairly unique name that started with a J so Jamethiel worked.

3- I wouldn't change it as it is unique enough. I used to use JenCat a lot but it was too common.

I nominate @lordvdr as I know him well enough that I am comfortable bothering him with this... since he is married to me! :)
