Talk:Picking Up the Pieces Chapter 14
Fantasy Authors
This is most likely a coincidence. Still:
- February 2000: Wendy Carter was deep in writing a complicated fantasy novel.RR35
- September 2001: Dunlap and Fyre bought last spring ... a big complicated fantasy: Swordsman of Atlantis being the first book by Larissa Hamilton.PUTP14
I think Wendy wrote a non-fiction book earlier, but if she used a pseudonym, the fantasy would have appeared her first.

It's obviously the reason I was investigating...
- August 2001: The novel is "in press"
"One day, she'd casually agreed to accompany Jennifer "over to Wendy's for the mail run." [...] She'd been utterly surprised to discover that the cheerful, businesslike girl that she'd talked to on the phone several times to make arrangements was a quadriplegic! And, quite a bright and talented one, too, with a nonfiction book -- about Brenda, of all people! -- in print and a fantasy novel "in press.""BB30
"In press" sounds like it has been sent to the printers. Obviously it's been purchased, but perhaps she hasn't seen galley proofs?
