My comment on the topic Too strange for fiction" on Clarion Writer's Craft was:

"when inventing the Vrellish, I wanted males to be able to share in infant care. But when talking with my sister about the possibility of lactating men, her reaction was so clearly “never could I find a breast-feeding man sexy” that I gave it up. My research had suggested there might be at least one mammal precedent. A type of bat, if I recall."

Received the following from Amy Harlib, which gave me a chuckle and charged my rel-batteries for writing.

> Really? I find the idea of breast feeding men delightful! What are
> their nipples for then? It would make them much better, more nurturing
> fathers!
> Amy Harlib
> Huge fan of your books!
