And before I'm pulled up on it, it really doesn't matter if a reader doesn't get all those layers & meanings... It offers a spectrum of 'meaning' along which any reader can hopefully derive something.

An author should always be able to justify their choice of words. I had my own Hollywood-esque rationale to ascribe to it, but I've had too many English "invent interesting things to say about Shakespeare's writing so we can pretend that's exactly what he was thinking about to justify calling him the greatest writer who ever lived" lessons to do for you.

Sulcus, I've been really remiss at keeping up with the forum and I'm sure somewhere you said your book-trailer was now on YouTube. Can you spare the details? I've just ordered one book purely from the content of a book-trailer. Maybe yours will urge me to do the same. Sorry if you've already put the details up.
Cheers.

Hi Prue, mine are still being edited so they are not actually up yet. What's on my YouTube Channel is some of me doing readings filmed on my I-Movies in one take. And yes, I'm masked in all of them...
