Well, my brand-new official Gemma Files homepage, Music at Midnight (created with Blogger, because I'm a Luddite) is now a go, here (http://musicatmidnight-gfiles.blogspot.com/). It comes attached to two more places: Dark is Better, where I'll eventually archive my uncollected fiction and also post new, unpublished fiction, too (http://darkisbetter.blogspot.com) and a direct link to the entire text of "The Emperor's Old Bones" (https://sites.google.com/site/theemperorsoldbones/), which I'm essentially offering as a litmus test: Do you like Gemma Files, Y/N? Because let's face it...if you read that and hate it hugely, I am most probably not for you, y'all. So bye-bye, and fly fly.

Anyhow. I need to go to bed--tomorrow, it's take Cal to Surrey Place, then mail the monster off to various people. Still 20,000 words over, but hell--as Steve points out--that's just a potential 1,000 to cut from each of its 22 chapters. Getting other people's fresh perspectives will really help with that, though, I can only think.
