ellarienSequel to Ink and Steel, if sequel is really the right term for something that's basically the second half of one book. (Round about the time I started reading LJ, which was a year or so before I got my own account, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
matociquala was posting about writing something called The Stratford Man, which eventually became these two.)
There isn't a lot to add that I didn't already say about Ink and Steel, but it's a bit darker in tone, as the Elizabethan era gives way to the Jacobean one, and Kit is never quite the same after his sojourn in Hell. Also, the business about word-magic with the King James Bible cut a bit close to my personal comfort zone.
And that concludes the November bookposts, and also brings me up to date with book blogging.
