Thank you all so much!

I've always suspected that I have the BEST readers a writer could ask for, and the outpouring of suggestions in response to my request last chapter has proved that beyond a doubt.

To those of you who said I was overthinking things: YEP! (grin)

On the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, I'm an INTJ (introverted-intuitive-thinking-judging) and far stronger T (thinking) than anything else. That means that I do tend to overthink things and get into what the hubby calls "thought troughs" (thinking ruts) that I occasionally need a nudge to get out of.

Your responses to my request last chapter provided that nudge.

I read them all, even if I didn't respond, and y'all offered a TON of great ideas! I wish I could use them all.

Naturally (because this is how my subconscious/Muse works), while I was at Yellowstone National Park watching Castle Geyser, the Muse threw out something completely different. (GRIN and EYEROLL at the same time)

So, now that I'm home, I'm getting started on "Child of Iron, Goblet of Fire" and, YES, I will update MoICoM when it's posted.

In the meantime, don't freak out if you see updates to other chapters today - I'm going back to fix a couple of typos that I've received multiple comments on.

See you in the sequel!
