But one thing I knew for sure: Someone on the other side of the door was trying hard to keep me out. Was there something dangerous outside the house from which I was fleeing? Was there a person in the house who needed my help? It was as if the first part of my dream was missing. Something was wrong, but now I can’t say what. That’s how I awoke, trying with all my strength to open it, desperate to get inside. I guess I was never shy, not even at six in the dream I always opened the door, walked inside, and played with the toys. No wider than the front steps, it has facing benches that I like to sit on. The part I remember most clearly is the covered porch. It is tall, three stories of paned windows, all brick with a shingle roof. I’ve never seen the house in real life, at least not that I can remember. It looked as it did ten years ago, when I dreamed about it often. ![]() ![]() ![]() Definitely not!

Once upon a time, there were three hungry Dinosaurs: Papa Dinosaur, Mama Dinosaur. Book Synopsis Goldilocks and the Three Dinosaurs is a new take on the fairy-tale classic Goldilocks and the Three Bears, so funny and so original-it could only come from the brilliant mind of Mo Willems, the author/illustrator of Dont Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus and the Elephant and Piggie series. About the Book A classic fairytale is reimagined through the eyes of comic genius and picture-book phenomenon Willems. ![]() ![]() ![]() And I was fascinated by the Choose Your Own Adventure series of books ("if you step out of the time capsule, go to page 22 if you try to fix the mission computer, go to page 41").Īs I evolved as a writer, from navel-high producer of galactic space operas to fuzz-sprouting fantasist imagining nonexistent island countries, to university dabbler in more-or-less realistic short stories to twentysomething unpublished novelist, I became more and more interested in the interactive nature of fiction. So I was drawn to the role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons, where players create imaginary personas and sally forth into mutually conceived worlds of swords and sorcery. Often, when I read, I felt like the character I was reading about. ![]() I also never really understood the boundary between the roles of character and reader.

Holston thought, not for the first time, that the tight staircase couldn’t have been meant for such traffic, for so many years of abuse. But untold years had passed and metal had been rubbed away, molecules at a time, a handful with each shuffling step. Only near the edges could he see what they once looked like: high and crisp, made for grip. The small diamond shaped bumps had been worn nearly flat across the center of the steps. Taking his time, each step methodical and ponderous, Holston wound his way around and around the spiral staircase, his worn boots ringing on the metal treads. He could hear them screaming as only happy children do. The kids were playing while Holston climbed to his death. So here’s a very rough draft of the first three chapters of WOOL. And e-readers and print-on-demand make it possible to share these works at the right price. This is film adapted to books, rather than the other way around.
