REAL GOOD ORCHID

This is the flower that is the crucial element in THE DARK KINGDOM. A photographer - friend - journalist sent this to me and it is the picture of the vital ingredient capable of saving THE KINGDOM. The book ain't out in the world of books yet but I guess next year, at the absolute latest, you will see this novel (not the flower) and you will buy it in greater quantities than Rowling or Pullman or Tolkien or Dahl. That, I guarantee you. The Lady's Slipper is hopefully well protected and may it remain so until it has repopulated the world.
