I heard recently that they were making a Valdemar tv series, or at least in talks for it. I've always kinda wondered if the sudden and really intense focus on the evils of child abuse (incl. one that was specifically about molestation) Lackey's contemporary urban fantasy novels took on had anything to do with the news of the Breen/Bradley abuses coming out. The timing isn't too far off

The SERRAted edge books? They were fun, and they could magic up the Fast and Furious audience with elves and racecars. I guess. I look forward to bitching about that if it ever happens.

Lackey always had "child abuse bad" and she was on the periphery of the whole Breen/Bradley SF group, though much younger and not involved in any of the abuse. So I wonder if the increased and intense focus is a kind of relief that it all came out and people really do agree that child molestation is bad now.

It was all before my time, and I read both Lackey's and Bradley's books before I ever heard about it, but my understanding was that Bradley had assumed a bit of a writing-mentor role to Lackey when she was just starting out, and I can easily see the novel with the molestation theme being a reaction to learning that the person you looked up to was actually Like That. The ending was a bit...visceral
