Dear Readers,

I have updated the first chapter a bit.  I’ve gotten rid of references to Gilles de Rais and the historically accurate account of his father’s death so that we can get to Catherine and the main plot more quickly.  In doing that I also changed the order early scenes to better flow in my new scheme.

If you prefer the old version, tell me.  I’m not 100% sure of the new approach.  

Paul
