(I was born in 84 so I wasn't worried about female dwarves' facial hair yet, lol) I'll have to see if I can dig up some information about that. Mine, don't personally, but I don't want to say too much about how mine look. You'll have to read the book to find out. Good luck writing your trilogy, A.J., and have fun with it!<br /><br />Thanks, Hannah!

When I started on Knight of Glory, I realized that the crux of the series was the final war between Arnhem and Speica. Once I realized that, I knew then it would be a trilogy. But not until then. I want to write more stories set in this world, but some might be before the trilogy, some after. I think the rest will all be standalones, though. Of course, who knows? That's the beauty of writing!Nicole Zoltackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07464800543376449290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-51574342583143681412011-05-06T14:43:11.863-04:002011-05-06T14:43:11.863-04:00I feel the same way about crying and writing, LTM....I feel the same way about crying and writing, LTM.
