The resounding silence

you hear in this topic is Deborah finishing the penultimate, climactic chapter of Hastur Lord! Began the wrap-up chapter, fell over. Next is a serious go-through-tidy-up and then off to the MZB Literary Trust for approval.

Carry on, all!

I think you will always get some readers thinking only they know how certain characters are, or will act.

But I also think it's important for books to show different societies / ways of relating to each other, otherwise we only end up listening to authority figures saying 'there's only one way'.

It's a pity Marion isn't physically around anymore, but I'm sure you will do OK with this book. :)

yep, and mostly I'm fine with that. Every once in a while, however, it gets to me. To each his own taste, after all, and I try to behave professionally and courteously to all. I don't often vent in public places.

Hopefully, I have done more than "okay" but have taken what was best in the ms and fleshed it out into a satisfying and thought-provoking novel "for our times." California Prop 8 passed while I was finishing it; I can imagine what Marion would have said about that.
