The earth mother was with me throughout the entire story, Albert. She guided me as she guided our heroes. It took me a while to get to your comment, but I'm glad I waited. Reading this last chapter always makes me emotional. Am I wrong to think it is a beautiful chapter, filled with both magic and humanity? BY now we know these wolves of Morningstar so well, and the contentment I mention is what I feel. Kellar's journey was a long and arduous one, but he really is exactly where he should be. He is home, surrounded by people who love him and see him as the savior he has proven to be. He is a character I have been in awe of from the beginning, and I knew I had to find him the right partner. I believe I did in the sometimes exasperating Tobyn, a wolf with a big heart who feels comfortable with great responsibility. He was the earth mother's choice, and he was mine. I love these guys, as I love all the wolves of Morningstar.
Thanks so much for bringing me on this journey again. Each time I feel the richness of their world, and I feel pride that I could accomplish the telling of this story.
