Best Laid Plans

[jacey]

I've had a bit of difficulty researching the Polish background to Spider on the Web, but today I found a wonderful site with everything I could possibly want to know about Krakow. Yay. It will give me some sorely needed little details for the background, especially since it gives a brief history of various buildings.

But...

It appears the Kings of Poland were all interred in the cathedral. Bummer. My opening chapter had the King's cremation. I know mine is a fantasy Poland not the real Poland - but in 1650 it should have been a burial not a cremation. I knew that, really, but for other reasons the cremation fitted my plot-line so I was trying to ignore it.

An unbroken line of kings each entombed in their own royal sarcophagus in the cathedral is a bit harder to ignore.

Back to the drawing board.

Let it sit for a while longer and marinate. You'll find more . . .

Can I have it yet?

Yes, I'll be sending it tomorrow. Just finishing the spell check. The funeral thing was not such a difficult fix.

I really think you can keep the cremation, you know. Maybe in your version viking burial customs were imported as a result of all the connections that had been formed in the 10th and 11th centuries.

I HATE that when that happens. Dang facts nosing in and messing with a perfectly good story line...

On the other hand, kudos to you for finishing the book!!! I'm really pleased for you. :)

We miss you guys!
