    But when you read the novel for the first time, what did you think of that passage? I really would like to know. 😀

    Confession of dumbness: I didn’t know the literary reference of “Goneril”, I just thought it was some kind of old, odd, Anglo-Saxon or Germanic name. It’s taken all these years for you to enlighten me about the name.

    Awww, dumbness? Not at all lol! I knew about the names but not exactly what it meant. I didn’t know until I’ve read Bill Johnson’s review! 😉 He’s a writer and wrote a review on the first five pages of the novel. It’s been online since 2000. Here’s the link:

    His reviews are wonderful!

    I’m Sofia and live in Portugal. 🙁
    Wow, you have Shirley’s ex-husband’s name, Steve. 😉 Btw, I’ve been extending portions of The Exorcist novel but need help. I’ve asked writers to help me improvise it, but they’re always too busy.
    Could I write some passages on Fan Fiction for you to improvise it? I understand if you’re busy, of course.

    Sofia, I would be happy to look at your novel extension, but I’m not much of a writer myself.
