ten pages a day on _Courage_ plus a complete rewrite of the
_Sentinels_ project, which Russ liked in concept but not in
actualized form. Hasn't left time for _anything_ else. I'm winding

feedback on the book since the day I mailed the final version -- now
maybe I'll get to hear something.And speaking of your character, at this point you've dodged the
damned bullets and are still alive. No telling how long you'll stay that
way, or even if, like Ron Jarrell, you'll survive to book again. Some
of the folks are dead. I won't say which . . . that would be telling.
They died bravely, though.> :0) Congrats Holly. But will we really have to wait till October of
> 2000 for the next one?!? :(Yup. Though once I finish the damned thing I might have a secret
file on the web page and post a couple of chapters just for the folks
who read this list to check out. I don't think I'll be doing anymore
true trilogies -- stand-alones are more fun to write, and more fun to
get mail on. I've had several plaintive "when is the next book coming
out, I'm dying over here?" e-mails lately. Makes me feel like a heel.Holly
