It’s snowing and there’s a chance humanitarian demons are roaming the tunnels beneath the Keep … yes, the story’s almost done except the Keep is lacking a name.
This is the not so good thing about a series full of parallel dimensions and mirror worlds; they all need names and then significant features require names and please don’t mention the characters.
But this world is Odella Drifts. The mountain range is Raven’s Tears, nicely ominous I thought. The Keep guarding the highest mountain is … ?
The world next door is Sundown and they have a great bazaar which I suspect might turn out to be the one the Kincaid twins & Amanda terrorised a few stories ago. And if you’re approaching Odella from the other direction you’re probably coming from Indigo Landing or Glittersnifter.
That’s cartography Rogue Maping style. They’ve made a career out of putting places and things on maps, or removing them as the case may be. Now if they could just pin down this cursed Keep I’d be happy.

Dragon’s Doom? What happens at this keep – or is there backstory – i.e. what has happened at this keep …. Glory’s Gate (too much aliteration) ... but, oh well I’m in the mood … Mallory’s Masque … The Crystal Cave (inspired by – was it Gayla’s? – mention of crystal tears). What colour are Raven’s Tears? Why does the highest mountain need guarding? If it’s so high doesn’t it imply a treacherous climb of sorts? Dove’s Dungeon. Maybe something to do with an animal completely opposite to the Raven? It’s terrible I’m stuck in Aliteration world …. must go to sleep now. Will I get material to read on my flights to and from Cairns? BTW – any reply to this would come to home email. Not brave enough yet to unleash me onto the Smash IT system – I might, well, smash it????
Sweet Dreams. Love always.

You’re doing well with the D’s as I’m partial to Dancer’s Keep at the moment … who was dancing where and with whom etc or perhaps it refers to auroras.
And okay, if you’re feeling crazy you can have the story to read on the plane and the 32+ page thing for the flight back.
