Thanks. And, as an aside, I just bought and started reading one of your books (The Return of the Gods) just for pleasure reading while my wife is TDY in California helping her Dad look after her Mom, who had a stroke and is going through a rough recovery.

Great book, BTW, but I didn't know conservatives could write such titillating sexy passages, LOL.

Thanks for the recommendation.

Actually, my own taste in fiction is for the Victorian novel. But I thought that writing something with what is only implied in Victorian novels, explicitly, might help disavow young readers that Conservative values would somehow interfere with the fun side of life.

Of course, the difference was taste. Victorians had a sense of privacy--keeping private matters private. While I really do agree with their approach, I decided on the one you describe for tactical reasons. (In my defense, however, you will note that the characters tend to develope in a constructive direction--just as in those Victorian novels.

Hope that your mother-in-law's recovery works out better from this point on. God Bless!
