Almost a year from first draft to bookstore, and that doesn't even count the time you spent writing the first draft. Damn, sure takes a long time to get it out, doesn’t it?

I hope there will be an index. A proper one with subheadings, as with Bad Astronomy. I've been put off buying books with bad indexes eg a string of more than five or six pages listed for an entry in the index. They're infuriating!
