La Maupin, Mistress of the Sword, Returns

At this point it has been outlined and the first half dozen chapters (out of about two dozen) are complete. That means it’s time for editors, alpha readers and—of course—the new web site.

I haven’t gotten very far in creating this site, so we’ll use simple email. Okay? Just click on this link to send me an email, with a subject line mentioning “La Maupin feedback”. Please note: I will be building a La Maupin interest mailing list, and if you send me mail this way, I’m likely to add you.
