I looked around the lavish hotel suites and shook my head. "Not only didn't tell me, apparently you were cashing in on it all. That's where the ideas for the books come from, right? I recognized the similarities between the last book and my 'dream' when I woke up in Arinel. But it wasn't similarities. It was you all along. Is that why you wrote the books? To tempt me there, or something? Did they put you up to that?"
Emory was gaping. "I have no idea what you're talking about. The books… the books are just a money spinner. I did it for fun at first, when I was here, waiting to go back. But now they use it because it suits them. It's all about money in the end. Everything is. So when I hit a bestseller list they started helping me. Now… now whenever I come back I do a book."
"Whenever… how many times have you been back and forth?" I asked, incredulous."
Her lips twisted. "This last round was my third time."
