Prior to the release of the third book in the Dreamer's Alliance series, I've been reformatting the previous two books so that all three books have a consistent format. These changes aren't significant, so people who have already read "Knuckleheads" and / or "The Evil You Choose" aren't at a disadvantage.

Most of the geese are drifting south
The city is waking up to a sunny day
"That's the Cold Dome over there on the right." — "Watch where your going, Jimmy."
"Who's in charge here? Threeof you are going the wrong way. Three are going sideways. We're never going to get to the shore at this rate"
"We're dropping behind the others." — "Did you forget? We can fly."
The geese are enjoying a leisurely drift down the river.
