Where is it Now?
Finished!!!!! And now in the tender grasp of my editor and publisher, Sheila Gilbert of DAW Books. Whew! It's 1066 pages long, and 275 576 words. A monster and yet ... not. I await Sheila's revision suggestions and will do some further fact checking. There's to be Promotion of Immense Size, which is fabulous. All meaning ... yup. 2013 for the pub date. In the meantime, I'll write another book.

The Story
Once upon a time, I imagined a girl (who wasn't a princess, but was very special). I imagined her taking charge of her life (which was very pleasant, but she wanted more). Then, without expecting to, I imagined a dragon (who wasn't like other dragons, at all), whose task it was to keep her safe, even from herself.
I took these imaginings and added a wanderer (who was more than he seemed). I dreamed of a horse (who wasn't really and who ate rabbits). I wrote all this and so much more (with a truly special pen) in a small but special notebook I kept close and to myself.
I should have known it wouldn't stay there. - Julie
