The first chapter of Prepared for Rage is based on one such that did in fact happen in Pakistan, and because the victim was willing to speak out it received a lot of attention in the world press. I didn't -- couldn't -- believe it when I first heard about it, and then did some research and found it was only too true. It doesn't happen everywhere or all the time, from what I can make out, but even once is too many times.

I do have a serious query about the opening scene of Prepared for Rage. At the end of the book you give sources, but none cite the cultural source of the horrifying practice in Pakistan you depict of raping and torturing a woman for a misdeed of her brother. Is that an actual cultural practice of the Pakistanis? An important question, I think. Dana, Love your books. I do have a serious query about the opening scene of Prepared for Rage.

And I think you show great patience with Sandy although I know she is just trying to be helpful as she is always so thoughtful. So Dana,

Does your reply to Sandy mean your publisher is interested in this new Liam title?

And I think you show great patience with Sandy although I know she is just trying to be helpful as she is always so thoughtful.

How did I know beyond all doubt that you'd be the first poster to this topic? In fact (don't hyperventilate now) posting a few chapters in advance of publication is a topic I've already raised with my publisher. My suggestion was four chapters, one a month for the four months prior to publication. Sandy, Sandy, Sandy. How did I know beyond all doubt that you’d be the first poster to this topic?

You have had such a terrific response to Silk and Song when you have posted excerpts. I think, especially since Liam has been on 'hiatus' for so long, that it would be in your best interest to start 'preselling' Bones out of the Grave by posting excerpts on your site. Personally I think it's a stroke of genius. What do you think? :=) Dana,
