AUTHOR'S NOTES: Since I have been incapable of writing a short story since I
was a small child, the following will be a multi-part long story. Somehow the
plot bunnies keep growing and won't crawl out of my head until they have all
been incorporated into the story (which makes for some awfully long sleepless
nights!). This is also the first time since high school English that I have
actually allowed someone else to read what I have written - very low self esteem
here. I really would appreciate any feedback - good or bad (but please be
gently with this rather fragile ego........)
DISCLAIMER: I am not nor have I ever been a huge history buff so there will be
many plot contrivances in this story. And I also couldn't find any decent maps
of France or England from the 1800's so I may have included cities that hadn't
existed yet (if anyone knows where I can find some, please let me know for
future stories). Please bear with the inaccuracies and remember it's a sci-fi /
fantasy piece, which means anything can happen, and usually does.
