Very cool. The publisher created it because it was up for one of those
public voter-type deals here in Canada, and they thought it would boost its
chances. I notice it hasn't been viewed very much, but it is good to know
it peaked someone's interest.

Yes, but it's not at all a 'gay' book. The narrator is gay and mentions
it incidentally I think about twice.  It's important to the plot in some
respects, but it doesn't at all define it. I have a new book coming out
this spring, and there is not a gay character in it. I got tired of being
called a "gay" author.

Thanks for the interest, Spike. Much appreciated.

Darren
