Thanks so much, A (and for your kind editorial suggestions :)). I’ve been really torn on this because I actually wrote it as a novel meant to be published as such…but I’ve gotten to appreciating having readers follow it here on Medium. This isn’t and never was intended to be a throwaway type of novel for quick easy reading…there’s a lot in this book and I”ve invested a great deal of time and thought and emotion into it.

Anyway, thanks…getting positive responses from writers/editors I respect such as yourself means a lot to me.
