The Okal Rel Saga is a ten-novel SF series by Lynda Williams, published by Edge Science Fiction and Fantasy. Part 6: Avim's Oath will be out in April 2009. I am currently working on Part 8: Gathering Storm in which the cultural exchange referred to below is taking place. The excerpt below is a draft vignette probably written circum 2003 which didn't find its way into the novel-in-progress. But I've been encouraged to believe that "off stage" glimpses of the characters that don't appear in printed publication will interest some followers of the series. So I thought I would try sharing some through Scroll in Space.
"And which one of them -- " Perry said, casting the pronoun to denote a pair of Purebloods, "-- had this particular bright idea?"
Not a promising start, thought Amel, standing in his flight leathers on the other side of her desk. He suspected he ought to say something encouraging. “Um, well,” was all he actually said.

From Both Sides of the River
by Charlie Anne Cutter Mikkelsen
There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true. --- Soren Kierkegaard
Prologue
Fact or Fiction
THE COOKING SEASON of 1980 in Provence was the ecstatic moment of her life. After years of raising children and suffering extraordinary grief, Mary Helen had, at last, transformed herself. She had just completed another term as American assistant to the revered cooking icon, Simone “Simca” Beck at her school of French cookery in the South of France. Mary Helen was euphoric, dreaming of many more seasons in the lavender drenched countryside.

“You’re not serious.”
“I don’t expect you to wait, I mean obviously I hope-”
“You hope?! Hope what? That I’ll hold a candle-light vigil or something? You’re not doing this!”

I bought The Lollipop Shoes last summer from a small downtown bookstore in Duncan. A big fan of Joanne Harris’s work, I was immediately drawn to the cover, and upon looking closer, I read that this book is the long-awaited sequel to Harris’s bestseller Chocolat. I knew I had to buy it in order to find out where the wind had taken Vianne, Anouk, and, possibly, Roux.

PROLOGUE FOR “COMMON THREADS” (A Fictionalised Biography)
When I was about twelve and my brother ten we asked our mother whether she’d ever learned anything at all about her father; what country he was from and how and when he died. Mom had been regaling us with tales about her childhood in a Victoria, BC, orphanage where she and her sister were taken in 1918, when she was five-and-a-half and our Auntie Rose* (not her real name) was almost three.
