Here’s another dribbling in comment, Lol.
I never look at stats or count comments, only new friends. 🙂
D. I’ve wanted to tell you this for some time now but I finally got around to reading The Necromancer’s Daughter and just finished it about ten minutes ago.
Well done, my friend!! You’ve written a nicely paced adventure with interesting and likeable – and some not-so-likeable! – characters.
One of the things I admired and appreciated about TND is that the story doesn’t necessarily succumb to the predictable. It is definitely not a cookie-cutter tale. The story held my interest throughout and I’m glad that I read it.
Props for a well-written, thought-provoking piece. I liked it!
Thank you so much, Julie, for the lovely comment. (And I apologize for the late visit!). I like writing tales that dip into some of the things I think about when my mind wanders, and I’m glad it didn’t seem predictable. Thanks wonderful to hear. You were so kind to let me know. Have a beautiful September and Happy Reading.
