You Know You're a Stickler

When you build a table to check how much name overlap there is in the four stories. There are two Nicholases as central characters in two stories, but one is in the first story, and the other is in the last, so I'm going to leave it.

To a certain extent, this is inevitable. The pool of names in Elizabethan England wasn't big (~50 per gender), so the same names are going to come up again and again. Elizabeth itself is extremely popular, especially toward the end of the period; up to 1/4 of all girls and women, depending on the source you consult. I've done a certain amount of fudging by exploiting the lack of standardized spelling at the time, so the Daniel in one story is distinct from the Danyell in another.

I have the final document for Seasons of Music and Mystery ready, so the next step will be to get going on the cover, which I was too busy to worry about. It's still on track to be released on the 21st.
