Actually, Natalie has been trained so well that sometimes she thinks her mother is secretly controlling her with a dog whistle. Natalie herself resembles an Ibizan hound-quiet, playful, loyal, smart, and above all, obedient. When 16-year-old Natalie Kaplan meets a new person, she knows right away what kind of dog they'd be. ![]()

![]() He knew from personal experience that the scale of the books he wrote was too big. Martin did not believe that A Song of Ice and Fire series would ever be made into a film. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, Martin decided to write an epic fantasy series and that became A Song of Ice and Fire series. Budgets and episode lengths getting shorter and shorter led him back to writing books again. In 1991, Martin was fed up with writing for shows as his TV Plots and screenplays were not getting made. That didn’t stop him from writing books as he oversaw many projects including the Wild Card series that is still ongoing today.

A certainty of “reflection of past narrative” clearly told as a mirror to the primary native-settler story, but also the awful realisation there will be no happy ending. Perhaps hardest to read is the completely horrid certainty of the high-level plot. It has a cracking pace and is very thoughtful, considering as it does the roles of individual, of local administration, of remote governance, and alongside all of this the place of state-approved religion. With even the slightest empathy for the characters, the natives, this is not an easy read. The chapter quotes delivered a strong emotional sense against which the narrative would work. The narration was very pleasing and sympathetic to the characters. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I write romantic women’s fiction set in the South, and The Dress Shop on King Street is my debut novel.
