And the tothir the suthfastness
That shows the thing richt as it was;”

Hi C.P. Since not much has been happening on History Buffs United, I don't know if you saw the post that my alt-history book FROM THE ASHES is now available. (You once posted I should let you know when it came out--but that was two years ago; my how time flies) :)

Oh, nuts! You started reading The Sekhmet Bed just as I am about to re-release it with (I hope) all those damn typos cleaned up!
Congrats on your book winning the Historical Fictionistas March featured read! I look forward to reading it.
