I am under a deadline now to finish The Crystal Palace III:  The Fairy Wars. Karina, my granddaughter and illustrator, said she wants to give copies of this third book as favors for her 12th birthday party in November.  I need to give the publishing company 2-3 months at least, so time is short.  My goal is to finish the draft by the time we return to CA on August 4.  Karina also needs to work on the illustrations.  And then there is editing to do!  So much to do, so little time.   I am on page 150 or so now, with probably at least another 50 to go.  This book is longer and with a more complex plot than the earlier books.  Watch for it here and on amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com.
