biography:

Julie first began reading Lord Foul’s Bane by Stephen R. Donaldson in February of 1998. After a series of disappointing failures to grasp the content of The Book, she gave up somewhere in chapter 17 on September of 1999. Heatherly had astutely noticed a dark change in her friend’s behavior in the Spring of 1999 and attributed Julie’s penchant for alcohol to her feelings of inadequacy directly related to her inability to finish Lord Foul’s Bane by Stephen R. Donaldson.

Heatherly and Julie’s Fantasy Bedtime Hour was launched shortly thereafter in the Fall of 2002 as an unspoken attempt to repair the twisted and broken spirits of the two girls by attaining complete and total understanding of The Book. It was to be their Mount Everest.
