Welcome to my NaNoWriMo novel in progress! I'll be posting as I finish sections, what a good procrastination tool! Comments and constructive criticism is certainly appreciated, but please note that I won't be editing until March-- the focus of NaNoWriMo is content, pure and simple. That's why March is, for many, National Novel Editing month. Write me with any thoughts or comments at peragana@yahoo.com.

Acknowledgements

This novel is humbly presented as an offering of love and creativity to the Netjer of Kemet, to Seshat and to Heru-Wer. I am eternally grateful to the boundless love and support of two special people. My husband Robert, who showed an incredible capacity to listen to me enthuse and kvetch about this story at very early morning hours; and my friend Mary, for all the long conversations and unending support. Without both of you this novel could never have happened. I also owe a world of thanks to Cal Lopez and the NaNoWriMo forums for always having the answer to my historical questions, no matter how elementary or obscure. Finally, I want to thank the organizers of the National Novel Writing Month for causing all this insanity in the first place!
