The END.
It is so nice to write those words.
No spoilers. My editor, who has put up with a lot, suggested I have a fire extinguisher handy.
I'll only say it's the story I wanted to write. I got the idea while writing Human Phoenix and the note I wrote then was exactly 12 words long. Looking back, I can say I wrote that exact story.
Chapters 16 through 19 have 39,222 words. Be happy and enjoy the read. I enjoyed the heck out of writing it.
I'll decompress for a day or two and then post a 'what I learned' kind of blog entry along with my thoughts on future stories.
Goodnight Cleveland!
