As you will find or already have found out, CASTLE OF THE WOLF is a book about stories. Not only does Cissy read a lot
of books or quote from various texts in the course of the novel, but you can also find several authorial references to
other texts. It was great fun to incorporate all these quotes and references into the story, and I hope you will enjoy them
just as well (especially when you find the Pratchett novel in the castle library! *g*).
If you would like to find out more about the books and stories I used in CASTLE OF THE WOLF, go to the Castle Library
on the Members Pages and explore the Wolfenbach books!
