To the Heresians, our dimension is a place in which the criminals are locked away, their only route back to Heresia being through the portal. So Tarren guards the portal, both against prisoners getting back to Heresia and against Heresians attempting to get to our dimension. Wait a minute, you say! They have been turned into bronze statues - they aren't going anywhere! Yes, but Heresia is in a magical dimension and the reason our dimension has been chosen is because it is non-magical. The Heresians are taking no chances with these magical criminals!<br /><br />Of course, book 2 would deal with the unintended consequences of magical criminals waking up in New York gardens, while Tarren is off in Heresia with the band of criminals he thought he was restoring!Dominic de Mattoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05171145945316152596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4693566710558019887.post-60567639462306767522011-05-20T20:58:07.799+01:002011-05-20T20:58:07.799+01:00Oh, I would not like to be someone's garden st...Oh, I would not like to be someone's garden statue...although this would be a fitting punishment for any criminals lurking out in Herasia.

Just something to clarify before you send the actual book to a publisher!<br />Always great to "hear" from you here or elsewhere. Glad you are taking care of domesticity, but also glad you had time to produce 150 words for us.<br />Cheers — K<br /><br />Kay, Alberta, Canada<br />An Unfittie's Guide to Adventurous TravelKay L.
