blue goblet III

This afternoon I finished up the rough draft of the third Blue Goblet story.

description written by Stephanie Young for the Fall 2006 Portland Studios mailer.

And here, I publish, for the first time, the prologue to The Blue Goblet, book III: The King in the Mountain

Prologue:

A loose end is a loose end. To fix it, you must tie it up. A tied up loose end is good and a well tied up loose end is even better.

But no matter how well you tie it, a loose end is still, as always, a loose end.

And even a well tied up loose end has a peculiar way of unraveling itself.
It would almost lead one to think that maybe tying it up is not enough....

Sometimes you must deal with a loose end.
