Thank you so much for writing in! I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed both the novel and are enjoying my blog. Sometimes I wonder if what I have to say is only interesting to me--and I'm delighted to know that you're able to relate to my sometimes random musings. I hope you're able to find Departure as well--and should you make it to GenCon this year, pop by the White Silver booth and say hello! Good luck in your writing as well.
