A pleasure indeed. I've never actually "squeed" before, but I have to call your squee and raise you one - Ellery is just so dang Squeeworthy.   ;D

I love the Colson/Cole thing - I don't imagine Colson is going to let that sllide too many times! 

Thanks,
Marie

I have done a good deal of thinking during the late hours of software testing, while I am rereading and reworking the text, and as you may be able to tell, those who are doing a close reading, there are many subtle edits in there which are giving further depth to what landed Colson in Tourmaline, and why he felt obligated to stay to help Pete and Ellery, and now that we have the end product as evidenced by the story being completed up to January 1985, it provides an anchor for a view of Tourmaline that is far more literary and less literal.

For those who have never seen one, I got a small tumbled tourmaline for meditation purposes, and will throw up a photo of that when I have a photo in the clear light.

A smaller view of the stone is here / the first is a crysanthomite *or something  - it looked pretty*, the second down is a green jasper, the smallest one with the purplish tinge, is the tourmaline.

Thanks for the picture - about a month ago I spent a couple fascinating hours in the mineral hall of a local science museum and saw some awesome tourmaline exhibits.  Naturally, the tourmaline attracted me as it made me think of Ellery  :)

Thanks for the new chapters - I certainly am enjoying  - this made me smile -

No truck, he thought. Now that ain’t typical of any men I know.

That's one word that never comes to mind when I think of Ellery - typical.  LOL!

Thanks,
Marie
