Hi, Paul,

I wanted to thank you for your time and review of the MythArc podcast. Your assessment was fair based on your presumptions, which you fairly disclosed; i.e., that there is no literal embodiment of evil and thus no supernatural battle for supremacy between that force and God. I understand that otherwise rational people may disagree on that issue.

By the way, "satan" is Hebrew for "accuser", and it's more of a job title than a proper name. The name of the enemy in the original is Helel ben Shachar--"light-bringer, son of the dawning".

Also, as you correctly pointed out, we invited confusion by naming the podcast after the novels. We've since changed the title of the podcast to P.I.D. ("Peering Into Darkness") Radio (www.peeringintodarkness.com/radio/).

I do need to make one correction, however: The novels are not self-published. Winds of Evil and The Armageddon Strain are published by Whitaker House (www.whitakerhouse.com). We have distribution through most of the major bookstore chains in the U.S. (Borders, Books-A-Million, Barnes & Noble), and I understand Sharon's novels will be in Wal-Mart, the largest retail chain in the country, by the end of June.

Thanks again,

Derek Gilbert

Many thanks Derek, for responding to the comments I made about the MythArc podcast, and for clarifying the premises on which it is based.

Apologies if I misled people about the novels' publishing status.

Not a worry, Paul. I should add that I enjoyed your reviews of the other spec fiction sites, and I plan to listen through to the Jonathan Cave episodes. I'll also drop you a note when we get another new venture off the ground, Stormy Night Radio, which will consist of short fiction, mostly of the supernatural variety.
