Hey, Ravindra, are you going to be bringing in a "conflict" into the story? That is what I am hoping to see. I love the beautiful way you depict this lovely goddess of a woman and her court and her art. But I am waiting to see what story is going to develop and I'm hoping for some drama. Also, I am curious. Is this totally fiction. I see so many references to cities, etc. Is this legend, truth, or historical fiction? LUv, Andrea
