Everyone keeps throwing out these theories of who Devera is. There's two ways of handling this, both of which are in relation to Steve: the 'author' way, or the 'interviewer' way. Everyone else has been doing it the 'interviewer' way, and while I immensely appreciate Steve's attitude towards Dragaera as being a place that even -he- doesn't know 3/4 of what's going on, it does sometimes amuse me in this sort of discussion, since Devera shows up in non-Dragaera books. 'Author'-wise, IMNSHO, Devera is simply his Muse. Which I appreciate even more than the previous; if I am right, then I am both delighted and honored to be so granted the opportunity to see an author's Muse.
