Hi, Michael, thanks for the feedback. In answer to your questions, Linda appears first in "Unforeseen Consequences". Valerie Henderson is the super powered daughter of Henderson's wife. He has another daughter that is biologically his as well as his adopted son (also super powered), Alex, who was Arianna Carlin's special clone project. The telepathic conversation occurs in "Mother's Day", not long after CJ figured out how to "talk" via telepathy. Being that this is part of the Dagger series, and I'm trying to tie up a number of loose ends, there will be some other references appearing here and there, as well. Also the question of how Sally, who is obviously fairly well educated, wound up where she is will be addressed, at least peripherally.
Hopefully, a few more people will pass along their perspectives as we go because I do genuinely need them. I'm not just fishing for compliments. Our move to Texas and all the complications that ensued, as well as a terrible case of writer's block, took up a lot more time and attention than I expected and I had almost no time to keep in practice writing, which was very frustrating, as I am basically a story-teller at heart.
Nan
