One of the nice things about W. Mark Simmon's books is they are filled with fannish popular culture. For example: "Yes. You were not the first choice," it answered bluntly. "Really?" Well, snap! "There was a wizard in Chicago, a necromancer in St. Louis, a waitress in Bon Temps, and a weather warden—who hasn't spent much time in any one place, lately. We also considered a guardian in London." Now the wizard in Chicago is obviously Harry Dresden (The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher), the necromancer in St Louis is obviously Anita Blake (Anita Blake Series by Laurell Hamilton), and the waitress in Bon Temps is obviously Sookie Sackhouse (Southern Vampire Series by Chairlane Harris). Can anyone suggest an identity for the weather-warden or guardian. I initially suspected the guardian was Giles (Josh Whedon) but I'm disinclined to believe that is the case after due reflection.
