Comments for EBook: Devil to Pay: Chapter Five

Devil to Pay: Chaper 1EBook: Devil to Pay: Chapter Five: 01/20/10

Eric Pugh made his appearance in Chapter 3. He looks vaguely like Freddie but he's in many ways the prince's opposite. He's back in Chapter 5 and he's decided to make Susan his.

Eric's back story isn't part of Devil to Pay but he does have one. He comes from a large extended family of squatters. They've built a community of trailers and shacks and whatnot in the heart of the Chester Dales. They work as farm hands, jacks of all trades and pull the occasional con. Eric though felt a wanderlust that pulled him out of the community and he's been moving around since he was 17.

In so many fantasy and science fiction books there's a problem with scale especially in distances. Things either take place in microcosms where BIG things are confined to single cities or even small blocks of cities. The other extreme is the adventure that blips all over the world (or solar system or galaxy) nearly instantly.

In Chapter 5 I want to put a human scale on Albion. Eric has decided to hitchhike and walk his way to Susan who is roughly 3000 miles away. So imagine him starting in California and walking his way to Long Island. It's possible but it takes time. With email though, he and Susan can stay in contact, bringing intimacy to those long distances.

I'll be back next week with Chapter Six.
