As I mentioned over in the voting thread, I finally got around to reading this thing, and I'm really impressed. I was more or less glued to the screen in every free moment over several days. Drove the wife insane.
Thanks so much for reading and commenting! It really makes the effort worthwhile to know that people are reading and enjoying the story. Hopefully I didn't cause undue marital stress!
I'm terrible at "casting" for my characters, because I just don't know actors and actresses all that well. I do quite like Scarlet Johansson, though, and if she wanted to play one of my characters, I highly encourage her to message me about it...
Anyway, once again, thanks for reading, posting, and voting!
