And the nightmares morphed into fiction.
And rereading this book for the first time in about fifteen years, I found myself back in that jungle again. And realized I got the trees right.
Life is full of little gifts like this, if you’re paying attention. Most of them, you’ll discover when you recognize what amazing gifts they were, will not have been the cheery, bright moments when you were golden and everyone was happy.
No.
They’ll have been the moments when you were utterly certain that something horrifying was about to happen, and it was going to feature you. Probably buttered and on toast.
So here’s to the moments you dreaded, locked away in the back of your mind, waiting for you to turn them into your own magic. May you get something wonderful from them.
Cheerfully,
Holly Lisle

HOLLY LISLE has been writing novels professionally since 1991, when she sold
Fire in the Mist
to Baen Books. The novel went on to win the Compton Crook Award for Best First Novel in 1993, sold remarkably well, and stayed in print for about ten years, giving Holly a seriously skewed view of the ease of publishing…
…Which publishing promptly clobbered out of her with later books. In spite of which, she has, at the time of this writing, sold 32 novels commercially, and is both re-releasing many of her novels via self-publishing, and self-publishing her newest novels.
Look for the re-release of
Cadence Drake: Hunting the
Corrigan’s Blood
, to kick off the long-delayed but finally in-progress ten-book
Cadence Drake
series.
