My editor Steve, cautioned me about too many characters with an example from the life of JRR Tolkien. Tolkien was reading an early edition of 'Lord of the Rings' to a group of friends, when one of them muttered 'Not another f***ing Elf!' Some of you have agreed with Steve and Tolkien's friend, and I admit there are a lot of 'Elves' in this story but they seem to push in despite my best efforts. It appears there will only be one more 'Elf,' and you will meet Doctor Aleja Vega in Chapter 15. Thanks again to all for reading my story and for taking the time to comment and I will try my best to keep the 'Elves' under control. Chapter 14 coming soon. Regards, AA
