Author's Notes
I started the story on my blog and didn't think it would become a novel. I was adding a new chapter once a while. I was about to pull a plug on it when I got stuck on chapter nine. After a year when I was to delete it from my blog, I suddenly had an idea for a whole plot and decided to continue. This way "The Land of the MacRoies" has been created.
