Edited Prologue
Just a short message to notify those of you who read the Prologue a long time ago that it has been edited since then. It is now shorter with more depth, if that makes any sense.
Despite having outlined the story before I started, I didn't know everything obviously about the story, its characters and its historical background. The creative aspect of the storytelling didn't stop with the outline, in other words, and some of the things I came up with later in the book had to be placed in the Prologue and those chapters that follow it.
For instance, when I wrote the Prologue I didn't know the name of Richard's sword. I didn't know the name of "the other world." These things came into being for me later in the story but had to be mentioned at their earliest place in the story, which is the Prologue.
Just thought I'd let those of you who are reading such things into a part of the process for me.
