No, it's not. I bought a book the other day...NY print book. I opened
it to discover something larger than 12 pt type. Most of her books
come in 10 pt or so to squeeze as much in as they can without cutting.
This one was trying to stretch it to a certain size. I've been tempted
to print out a few lines to identify the size. All I can say with
confidence is higher than 12, but not by much...maybe 14.
LOL! Too bad I'm not back home. I could borrow a micrometer from my
father. I did...for a college presentation. I actually measured the
size of hair for it.

Fairy Dreams is the best bar none fantasy romance that I have ever
read! The action is non-stop; the deep abiding love so well portrayed
that you feel as though you are experiencing it yourself. Regina for
