Crap!

Somebody just pointed out something I’d forgotten I’d written at the end of FIREBIRD DECEPTION which is in direct contrast to something I’ve written in PHOENIX LAW. I can probably fix it with a few sentences, but boy, right now I’m thinking of Joss Whedon’s, “Consistency in your universe is God. All must bow before it–unless you happen to think of something really, really cool,” as the way to deal with internal consistency in your world. :) Writing is hard!

We *did* trundle down to the tall ship concert, but the ship wasn’t very impressive and the concert wasn’t what we wanted to hear, so mostly we had an extremely nice walk down into Cobh and back again over a couple hours.

Then I just plain didn’t feel very good, so I took my rather pathetic self downstairs and…
