384450 Which one!?
The first: very soon, if you like, I could send you a copy when I finish this revision before the Faulkner conference (November 14). I already have plans to send to Hope.
The second: I have to finish it first (my self-imposed deadline for Books 1-4 is the end of this summer - I'm thinking of breaking the 17 books up into three novels, because they're going to run about 900 pages, as currently mapped out!).
