Personally, I am happy that AntiK gave me a trial as a beta. Hopefully I've been a help and not a hindrance in this endeavor. I must admit I was rather resistant to the tensing issue and we went several rounds on that before she finally convinced me to go with the flow. Once she explained her reasons I saw how it could be effective in this story because of the atmosphere she was creating. It doesn't generally work and I wouldn't recommend this to beginning authors. I am fighting that fight with another author as well.
