Cover Art: Tristan Elwell (illustrator). 2001 Edition. © 2000: A stand-alone novel by Piers Anthony & Jo Anne Taeusch. 1st printing of 2001 edition:- Synopsis: He's a sentient plant. She's a magician's daughter. With a big secret. Trouble ensues: Herb Moss is a nice young man. He's a Vegan: a member of a genetically engineered species, part human and part plant. Life is a little dull - everyone keeps telling him it's time to put down roots. Surely, he thinks, a little romantic correspondence on the side can do no harm. Meanwhile, far away on the planet New Land, a young woman named Spring has been living with her widowed father Gabriel, a practicing sorcerer, keeping house and helping out with the business. Its been a good life. But Gabriel has discovered hitherto-unknown magical secrets that can bring their possessor absolute power. And for safekeeping he's sorcerously locked them within his daughter, where only her own true love - or, failing that, someone she likes a lot - can access them. So to speak. Then, when her father is killed under suspicious circumstances, Spring flees to the shelter of an austere Order, where, grieving, she places a personal ad, looking for a pen pal with whom she can discuss botany. Little does she know that her new pen pal Herb thinks she's interested in romance. Meanwhile, an ambitious wizard has learned of the existence of Spring's secrets. And he'll do anything to get them.
