Well, the rewrite is going well. It has given me the opportunity to revisit characters who need a little more polish and to drop those who are unnecessary. It has also given me the opportunity to add in characters I had in mind but couldn't quite work in.

For those following the story, it's gone way off WH40K as to be almost unrecognisable. It was never the intention, but it feels like the right move. Certainly the bones are there, but everything built off it is different.

I am looking forward to introducing a new character, one who embodies the "they bury their own" phrase. His is the squad's Padre, Jozef. I've worked hard on him, as I don't want a priest to alienate readers, so he is a dependable man first, padre second. I was inspired by the love and care of the FDNY toward their late Father Mychal Judge who was ministering to the people at the front line. I remember that day, as do all who were around then. and the image of him being carried out of the tower by his colleagues is one that will stay with me. I hope my Jozef is worthy of being a small and humble tribute to him.
