Done to death by deadlines and other peoples clocks, I took several decades to think about this book before I finally had the frame of mind to write it. I am confident that the end result is nearer now to whatever you my proponents have wanted and ‘they’ my protagonists have expected. In any event, even if I could I wouldn’t have written it in any other way. Limberlost II is the second of a trilogy. That said, it is not a collection; it is but one single thought: of how an all-encompassing passion will endure through several lifetimes. This particular book is an essential amplification of the first book and the crucial beginning of what I’ll write next time around.
