Thanks muchly, I appreciate the kind words. (Interesting about the part re:
reading the book to music; I always write to music, and I think that may
sometimes affect the pacing of the thing).

I wanted very much to do a book about *people* who are going through this
situation, and I'm glad to see that their humanity is coming through.

It's been fun.

Speaking as someone who does the same thing, I know it does. I've even had
people tell me they could hear the music in something I wrote. Not sure how,
but there it is.

Now I HAVE to ask....

What were you listening to when you wrote Z'ha'dum, Intersections and
Sleeping in Light? Three very different pieces of music I would imagine!

Sadly, I don't remember for certain any more. Early senility, I suppose.

Yeah right, Joe. You just don't want to reveal your secrets and have us edging
in on your territory. Admit it.

Did you ever use any of Chris Franke's music while writing? Sort of like
using someone's interpretation of your own creation to create more of it?
