Topic: To readers of "Frozen Tide"
Especially Norm d' Plume, Graymartin, Nathan Child's, allen, and mbledsoe. I've decided to drop the Ghost/Illsa sub-plot and make this a completely stand-alone novel (although there may be another familiar character who pops up, just not someone from the Ghost books.)
I've gone ahead and deleted chapters 16-22 and will be posting new versions in a week or so. I'll be making some slight changes to previous chapters (mainly changing the Spector character) but will update you in the author notes when I repost Chapter 16.
Most of you had concerns with the Ghost subplot; I had the same concerns myself, but writing it that way allowed me to move the plot forward and devise a way to end this without Ghost. Now I've figured that out, I've decided to play with that version and not continue with the Ghost-version.
That's why this site is so cool - it gives us the freedom to experiment like this.
Cheers,
Don
