The Last Yule in Halabor  by Soledad 4 Review(s)

I love the picture of this busy, successful family. Iathan is a bit on the smug side - but I suppose he has reasons to feel self-congratulatory. If they only knew what was going to happen! Yet only in hindsight can people read meaning into events.

Das ist ja alles sehr schön - es ist wirklich gut, nur damit mir niemand ins Gesicht springt -, aber ich warte schon seit Ewigkeiten auf die Fortsetzung von "The shoemaker's daughter" und wie wäre es dort mal mit einem Update, das ist mehr als überfällig. Bitte. Allerdings ist es ja schon positiv, daß überhaupt mal wieder was gekommen ist. Aber es gab da auch noch "Visits in Eregion", wie sieht es damit aus? Sorry, ich werde unnüselig, wenn man mir ständig 1. Kapitel als Appetizer vor die Nase setzt und dann kommt nichts mehr. Not fair. So, updates, please.

Author Reply: Es freut mich daß Dir das kleine "Nebenprodukt" gefällt. Du kannst eine frühe version zur Kapitel 2 von "The Shoemaker's Daughter" lesen wenn Du hier guckst:

Ich bin mir noch nicht sicher wieviel ich davon streichen sollte, Du bist also willkommen einen Komment abzugeben. :)

I continue to be so impressed, Soledad, at your ability to weave all of these details into your stories - I could easily picture myself in the shop and see the building. And you either know much about spices and such, or did much homework. I look forward to these daily posts.

Author Reply: I know a little about spices, but it was mostly homework. :)

This is going to be very interesting. I can tell you have thoroughly researched this and used historical models for your little town. It sounds roughly 13th-14th century? Or did you mingle some of the times and cultures? I look forward to more.

Author Reply: Thanks. The model to the town is Yvoire, a medieval village in Savoy, France. More background info about Halabor is being added to the Otherworlds board as quickly as I come around to type it up. There are name lists ordered by occupation, locations, a layout and so on.
