Talisman is a sequel to Prophecy and is currently being written. I
hope to have it finished before Christmas 2008.
Denzel was just a puppy when Mary got him. For several years, there
were only two people in the house with him, Mary and her husband.
But for Denzel, that was enough. It was enough, and he was very
suspecious of anyone else that entered the house. Whenever someone
visited, it was necessary to put Denzel in a room and close the
door until they left. Mary got him for the purpose of being her
watchdog because she spent lots of time at home alone. Denzel was
very serious about fulfilling his jop description. He was a
minature schnauser, only about twenty inches tall, but when it came
to Mary, it was obvious that he was willing to protect her at all
costs, even if it meant making the ultimate sacrifice. Dogs have
long since been characterized as "man's best friend." Denzel was a
true representation of "a woman's best friend."
