Heir To Magic

I’ve been watching the Lord Of The Rings trilogy whenever I need some pure escapism… can I call that research? lol  Heir to Magic and The Lord of the Rings have very very very little in common, but they are both fantasy stories and there are going to be a battle or two in Heir to Magic.  Most in common they have, really, is displaced royalty and a long journey to get where they’re going.  I’m talking about the characters making a long journey, not the comparable time I have been writing Heir compared to how long the Lord of the Rings books have been out.
