	Yes that is correct and the races and orthography
differ in this strange invented America.
	We have giants and the walking dead.
	Here eye is witchy because i think it has
an acorn stuck in by magic at or before birth. Her
siblings have similar distortions.
	Besides I copied the titles from a web
site. They only give those titles and they want to
sell those books.
