I'm interested in what happens to fingers in "Acts of Contrition." Then I began to see the cactuses in your photos as hands and fingers, pink and yellow flowers being finger tips. Some grad student will write a thesis on "fingers and finger tips in the works of Victoria Waddle" someday.

Well, if that happens, I’ll have to read it to find out what it all means!😉

I wonder if there are temporary fashions, fads even, in the types of materials that agents and publishers prefer. Maybe something not thought attractive this year will be met with enthusiasm five years from now.

Absolutely. Remember vampires and then “No more vampires!” And then a few years ago, vampires were new again and back in vogue. I heard many agents say in interviews that the pandemic was too depressing and they didn’t want anything to do with it. But I’ve recently read a few books taking place in the pandemic. So, someone must have gotten past that becasue the books probably took a year to made it to print and availability.
