As I work through proofing Monica, I want to mention a reader's suggestion after one of my HAREM stories. The reader was intrigued by the strong women in the story and suggested that I write a scenario where women, trapped by Earth First villains, are trained as a fighting unit to rescue themselves. So far, that hasn't jelled for a Swarm story, but there are defiantly strong women in Monica who learn to defend themselves and others.
My thanks to that reader for planting the idea.
