Yes, so, I've been quiet for a while. Things have been busy, one way or another. I attended the funeral of a friend from church on Friday, which was enough to make me draw into myself and think for a little while. The mundane chores of life caught up with me, too, so I've been busy with the offline world. (Bought myself a Dyson! Woo! Hurrah for British innovation!)
Anyway, my copies of Houses of the Fallen arrived via the FedEx fairy this morning. Very nice it looks, too, especially with my girl Magdiel on the cover in full-colour glory.

The guy got exactly the point I was making, and seems to have taken great comfort from it. Given that the story was written in the immediate aftermath of the death of my Dad, I'm glad he found echoes of that experience in there.
