Hi Jenny & all,
(New Zealand is so beautiful!)
Thanks for the kind words. I hope you like Moon &
Sun. Is it available in NZ?
I always thought I'd have to consider siding with
the Empire, because at least in the Empire you
didn't have to stay in purdah if you were a woman
who wasn't a princess. That was the _only_ way I
could explain the weird population dynamics of the
background characters. (Never even mind the
foreground characters.)
Was also one of the reasons I was interested in
taking on the challenge of my Star Wars novel --
to find some characters in the universe who
weren't (by now) middleaged white guys.
