I've received a lot of feedback about a Dramatis Personae after my previous post. There've been those who've come down on each side of it. I want to thank you all for emailing me.
Unfortunately, someone much smarter than me made me realize I couldn't do it at this late juncture - because it would appear and STAY - in the middle of the book. If I was going to add a D.P. or Cast List, it would have to be added at the beginning or end of the story in order for it to make any sense.
After I finish posting Tome 2, I'll try to start Tome 3 with a Cast List - to make it easier. I might start writing that up soon - when I have time - and will make it available upon request when I finish it (don't ask for it now, I've not even started it yet).
On that note, I've finished my first draft of chapters 55, 56 and 57. 58 is kind of percolating through my head a bit, though I've written the first few paragraphs. I need to sit for a bit and decide exactly how I need to word this to set it into the narrative in the correct fashion. As I sit here contemplating the future, I think I have maybe 3 - 4 chapters beyond 58 to conclude this though there might be more.
