Celsius. Edmonton, about three hours north of Calgary, is forecast to be the coldest place on Earth this coming week. :-)

Weather forecast for Calgary calls for a high of -27 degrees later this week. I remember now why I hate the Prairies.

Oops. Totally forgot that two exorcists are supposed to be shadowing Connor to protect him. I figured one on duty and another off duty. I managed to slip one in without adding to the character count (e.g., the soccer game referee is also the exorcist). In the Holy Land, the tour guide can double as an exorcist, so I don't have to add yet another priest to Connor's SUV.

I prefer Diet Pepsi or chocolate soy milk. You know, health food.

Minor correction to the above. Since one half of all chromosomes come from the mother, the demon encoding would come from only a male chromosome, not from both parents. So, if you have one demon chromosome, you're a demon-spawn with great powers. But what if you have two demon-spawns mate and the chromosomes handed down are both the demonic ones?  I wonder if I can use that somewhere.

What if there is a chromosome pair in demon-spawns that is different from normal humans? Have it code for the demonic powers. The satanic equivalent of midichlorians. :-)

What a great question. I've been told that angels and demons in Catholicism can't reproduce, although some church fathers thought Satan could father the Antichrist. That, of course, was before knowledge of DNA, which I have now bumped up against. I need a Y chromosome. Perhaps the demon should sample a dead human (e.g., in a morgue or cemetery), which would give it the ability to assume that human's form, including its DNA. The problem then comes back to where in the child is the demonic essence and power? Perhaps a half-soul and a half-demon essence? Meh.

Such adoration from my fans. I am truly humbled.

You're not interested in knowing which forums are most active? I rely on active forums to bounce ideas off other writers. One of our latest new members is also looking for active forums for her historical fiction project. Even my favorite haunt, Medieval Fantasy/Magic, is increasingly quiet. I don't want to use Premium for brainstorming threads because they get derailed too easily.

Even including the last forum posting date when browsing through groups would suffice. Saves having to drill into each group to do it manually. It's an extra piece of text on an existing screen. There's lots of room for it on the screen.

Sol could probably code it in less time than it took me to write this response.

Is it just me, or is the bolded sentence incorrect? Specifically, Campagna is the POV character, but the sentence reads to me as if someone else were the POV character. Is it reasonable for the narrator to withhold information from the reader even as the POV character receives it (i.e. the details of the call)? She discloses the information in a paragraph that follows, simultaneously revealing it to her colleagues and the reader.

Thoughts?

Thanks
Dirk

Interesting. Celine Dion is worth $800M. Makes me wish I had stayed in the choir in elementary school.

Miles who? I prefer Celine Dion and the Canadian Tenors. Home grown stuff. They're getting rich, I stream them so much.
