I am up to 19 backers!!!  And, true to my earlier pledge, I’m putting a bit from my second chapter up.  My mom and a few of my friends wished for me to put my opening blurb about how names are treated in this book, so I’ll list that also.  To all of my followers, I am honored by your interest and sincerely thank you for your support.  To all of my backers, you are helping to make a dream come alive, giving it breath and form where once it was naught but clay.  Thank you.  From the bottom of my heart to the top of my soul, I thank you all for your wonder and for your support.
