'The Golden Calf', featured in Pulp Literature Issue 39, was a crossover of sorts, set in Allaigna's world of the Ilmar but with The Shepherdess's metier of herding livestock. 'The Golden Bull' finds the same character, nineteen years later, facing a different sort of burden. JM herself stays away from ruminants but does keep a small herd of horses on which she teaches mounted combat at her school, Academie Cavallo, in Langley, BC.
