In this case that's especially true since the stories <i>themselves</i> are so magical--not in the sense of being about otherworldly/extraworldly creatures (though most of them are) but in the sense of the spell of enchantment woven over the reader by the storytelling and the lyrical language.

Your vision of Eugene, OR as described by these stories is fantastically beautiful, even when it gets ugly. Well done, and I can't wait for more!Daninoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8315945691874053979.post-16725931188760360442012-09-07T10:35:50.685-04:002012-09-07T10:35:50.685-04:00However you wish to present it, Jolene, it's a...However you wish to present it, Jolene, it's a great little collection of stories. Am I biased since I heard about it from its inception? Maybe, but I really really, really enjoy your work. Thanks for giving us this peek into what inspired The Fairy Queen of Spencer's Butte. I wish you all the best with it. :) Juli D. Revezzohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13240810668385584589noreply@blogger.com
