I posted them when Demetrios and Anny finally left the building.

Of course they sailed back for revisions, but by then I had those summer-camping grandkids here.

And then we went out west to see Sol and Hank and Ellie and the revisions were becalmed, just waiting.

Finally, when I got home, I got back to them. And basically, while the ed didn’t ask for much, what she asked for (wisely) made me rewrite the last eight chapters of the book — and add an extra chapter for good measure.

So if I’ve been quiet here, it’s because I’ve virtually rewritten 160 odd pages in the past three weeks.

But it’s done. And gone. And now I’m thinking of things I should add.

Somebody stop me!!!
