Thera Awakening

This was a small novel that shipped with early versions of Stonekeep. I love this book, and it's one of my favourites. (Alix is currently giving away some games - among them Stonekeep with Thera Erwachen - the German translation of it.)

Well, yesterday I sent one e-mail to the assumed author and got the following two replies :

Yes, I'm that Steve Jackson. Chief credit for the story should go to
David Pulver, though!

Hello Andreas!

I never new it had been translated into German! Actually, you're the first
person (outside those involved and close friends) who ever commented on it.

I had known the two lead characters would get together, but writing the
romance between them was challenging, as I'd never done anything like that
before. Working with SJ on it was a rewarding experience - I'm very pleased
it touched you.

Thank you for writing!

I love this novel because of its theme - and although it is a rather calm story, without much action in it.
