NOTE: I’ve started to list the series, if any, a particular title is part of, as well as its place in series, if known.
Thank you for the pointer to Gale, His Secret Illuminations. I often do a “look inside” check of your most recent readings, and usually say, huh, ok, different strokes, etc. But that one I’d’a never seen without your pointer and I am doting on it.
