I should have mentioned that there is an interview about this new volume on Jason Whiton's website soon.
A number of readers have already expressed their delight with Frank's chapter on Take Me to Your Leader which examines the episode through the Seven Deadly Sins. Great fun and a unique approach.

enjoy it, Darren! Your chapters were great additions, particularly your exploration of Levene's final offering.

I am glad there are readers who responded to my chapter on Take Me To Your Leader.

I had just come off of Two fellers-which I put a lot of time into and a lot of words. I wanted the 2nd piece to be shorter, lighter and fun. I was going to just write about Sally Graham since she was, for me, the most memorable character in that episode. However as I thought about the other characters, that's when I started noticing how many of them embodied the different "sins".

After that the text just came spilling out of me in record time. Sometimes I wish my chapters would come that easy and that inspired :wink: :lol:

Unfortunately, it doesn't work like that. However, the seven deadly sins idea gives the chapter a unique structure which is a real highlight of the book.

Congrats again. How are sales going if I may ask? Hopefully it became a good stocking stuffer.

Has anyone had time to read it yet? Finally received it after some blunders on the order.

I'm as far as Noon Doomsday so far. It's proving a very engaging read and very breezy. There's nothing really I've strongly disagreed with yet.
