Sorry, Jaq ... just saw your post. Anthony: Way to go! As fellow ficton-writer, with a heavy concentration in sci-fi, I am doubly-excited for you. Interesting that it is the 1st person ... not a whole lot of sci-fi is written that way. Best of luck. BTW, you have a cool gig going ... tech writing to pay the bills, enabling you to do your TRUE LOVE (I assume) in your spare time. I imagine it is very spare as of late. -Tim
