beckylynn: It's not related to the Dark Tower Series, but I think it's kind of written in the same fashion as Wizard and Glass.......and little bit of a romance theme if you will.

I asked one draught of earlier, happier sights,
Ere fitly I could hope to play my part.
Think first, fight afterwards -- the soldier's art:
One taste of the old time sets all to rights!
Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came
Robert Browning
Old friend, what are you looking for? After those many years abroad you come With images you tended Under foreign skies Far away from your own land. George Seferis
ROMEO
Lady, by yonder blessed moon I vow,
That tips with silver all these fruit-tree tops --
JULIET
O, swear not by the moon, th' inconstant moon,
That monthly changes in her circled orb,
Lest that thy love prove likewise variable
ROMEO
What shall I swear by?
JULIET
Do not swear at all.
Or, if thou wilt, swear by thy gracious self,
Which is the god of my idolatry,
And I'll believe thee.
Romeo and Juliet
William Shakespeare
On the fourth day, to [Dorothy's] great joy, Oz sent for her, and when she entered the Throne Room, he greeted her pleasantly. "Sit down, my dear. I think I found a way to get you out of this country."
"And back to Kansas?" she asked, eagerly.
"Well, i'm not sure about Kansas," said Oz, "for I haven't the faintest notion which way it lies..."
The Wizard of Oz

This book is dedicated to Julie Eugley and Marsha DeFilippo. They answer the mail, and most of the mail for the last couple of years has been about Roland of Gilead -- the gunslinger. Basically, Julie and Marsha nagged me back to the word processor. Julie, you nagged the most effectively, so your name comes first.
For Naomi Rachel King ". . . promises to keep."
