Thanks, Kevin. To take up the topic of challenge in a general way, you might think that writing becomes easier and that by the time you’ve written, say 46 novels, you’d be on autopilot. Well, not in my case! Its hard work, especially perhaps because I don’t like to repeat myself. On the other hand, I love doing it. That pretty much sums it up.
