One of Dee’s favorite authors is Mary Stewart. In fact, when Everything
In Its Time sold to Berkley, as a treat, Dee scoured the internet
to buy hardback copies of all Mary Stewart’s books. She now owns the complete
collection including the hard to find "The Wind off the Small Isles."
As a tribute to Ms. Stewart, Dee included a reference to one of her books or characters
in her first fifteen books.
Can you find the reference? Some, like Everything in its Time
(The Ivy Tree) are easily spotted. And others, like
Marcus’ story in Hell with the Ladies (Airs
Above the Ground) are a bit more tricky.
