Excerpt

I'm stickin' with my previous position that I'd probably better stop posting excerpts from The Manuscript That Ate My Brain if I really want to flog it for publication at the (I hope imminent) end of the current rewrites.

That said, this bit (PDF) should be fair game, seein' as it's not meant for the manuscript.

Just a bit of background on a principal. And before anyone says so, yeah, I know: I do have my recurring themes.
