Additional Details

"The Forbidden Door" was written around a series of fantasy drawings Heyer created at Lucasfilm Ltd. in the 1980s while she was working on "Return of the Jedi." The watercolors were later submitted to Viking Press where they were enthusiastically received and prompted a book proposal.
