Updates on Book 10

I have been working on the "12th Night" and "Macbeth" chapters of Book 10. So far, in the 12th Night chapter, Keeler and Alkema have been bystanders to the action, and I have to integrate them more into the story. The "12th Night" chapter so far follows Shakespeare's original very closely. Whereas the Macbeth chapter is a big departure. I had kind of envisioned it as an Agatha-Christie-type drawing room mystery, Keeler trying to solve the murder of Banquo. It is fun having Keeler play off the language of Shakespeare. And unlike past books, coming up with names for the planet's inhabitants is not hard.
