This story was recommended to me. I’m so glad it was brought to my attention that I’m gonna do you a favor and bring it to yours.

It’s “All That Glitters” by Pam L. Wallace and is available in "The Sword Review" at
http://theswordreview.com/contents.php

It’s a truly wonderful story.

There is a lot to love about this story, but here is what I especially loved:
1) a dreaming dragon,
2) a strong heroine who tells stories for a living,
3) the transformative power of not only dreams but stories and touch as well,
and 4) the bucking of tradition, not just for show or rebellion, but as a path to greater understanding and compassion.

Very nice.

Check it out.
