Ooooo yes that's perfect, thank you very much! Exactly the sort of tantalising glimpses I like - and it lets me know my expectations and speculations for Book 3 are pretty much on track, which is always gratifying. (Files note away for future reference: Teresa is susceptible to pleading and guilt-inducing rants. Heh, I know you aren't really, I was just being a ratbag - but thank you for caving in to my ridiculousnesses. I promise not to press you for more - its enough to know that I am thinking in the right direction.

I have noticed that you love to talk about writing and the writing process. I am (very slowly) making my way through some of the threads you have in this folder - not only is there a lot to read, there is a lot to load, and I have a snail-like connection. Its very interesting to read this stuff. Not everyone is able to articulate thoughts on writing so well - but then I guess that's why you are a writer.
