I've known since the mid-90s how Taylitha met Alysha Forrest, for whom she would work for most of her adult life... on a camping trip that turns part philosophical tale, part buddy story and part adventure. A few years back I wrote the story, which ran to the dreaded, unsaleable novella length; at about 120 pages it was too short to pitch as a novel and too long to sell to magazines (though in fact, I did end up accidentally pitching it to Sharyn November at Firebird Books as a YA novel—we both agreed the protagonists were too old at 21-22ish, though she thought it was well-done).
