Ah, sounds like you’re talking about Chiron, the Wounded Healer, in the night sky. Yes, it’s possible, I think.

Well-told story, Margaret. “Hauntingly vulnerable”–I like that. So wounded they pierce the memory and make a little cell for themselves within it. Is it possible to heal oneself through reminiscing about a literary character, revisit the place of trauma so many times it becomes a kind of landmark unto itself, an orientation aid in a vaster geography.

Looking forward to Sundagger 2.0.

Good going, Margaret. It took guts to do the “elevator” (the 30 second summary) talk! You’ll get there; enjoy the ride.

Thanks, Nancy! Maybe he’ll see this blog–who knows! Sherman? Where are you? No, I didn’t give him Sundagger.net–but he gave me War Dances. When you combine the titles, they make “Sundance”. Nice, eh?

I can easily imagine being overwhelmed in this situation. You are impressive in that you kept to your goal of telling him about your book – and not turning to quivering jelly and wide-eyed speechless fan.

Maybe he will see this blog. Sure hope so. You gave him your book? When he reads it, I hope he’ll volunteer to endorse.

Looking forward to your prequel too.
