May their souls and the souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen.") To Billy, and maybe Colin, the title says, "You're already dead, lads. R.I.P...
CASTLE WAITINGLINDA MEDLEYA giant tome of some 457 pages, with more chapters being printed as a regular comic series, Castle Waiting creates a vibrant fantasy world not unlike The Lord of the Rings' Middle-earth but with a focus on the lives of women.

A casual viewer would not have noticed them at all. Either way, it works. You can sit back and enjoy the story...
...horse into a real one so they can have an idyllic dream ride through the countryside. Their relationship grows increasingly confusing to her, and increasingly irritating to us - or maybe I should say, "to me" since I am implacably resistant to the purely fantastic in movies, not excluding The Lord of the Rings. Needless to say the relationship, between Stephane and Stephanie remains, whether he's awake or asleep, incurably chaste...
