Rill had grown up the daughter of a magician without any desire to follow in her father's footsteps, but when her father unexpectedly passes away she finds that she must defend her childhood home against another magician seeking the secrets her father left behind.
"Living Rooms" won the Writers of the Future Gold Award, the grand prize in the annual worldwide competition for up-and-coming writers.
"'Living Rooms' is a fresh fantasy concept. The rooms have personalities of their own and can manifest into people. ... It is easy to fall in love with this premise. ... [Laurie Tom's] story may be the most deserving of the gold award in a decade."
