Sadly, it clocks in at 5,970 words, but I sincerely hope that the editors at Morpheus Tales will judge the quality of the tale worthy of the higher word count.
In The Father's Image is part of a trilogy that concerns dolls, the first story being Dollmaker. Dollmaker was originally published in the March, 2009 edition of Aoife's Kiss from Sam's Dot Publishing. The final story has the working title of Universal Girl which I have already started working on.
