Back to school - totally makes sense just not something I was unable to get across clearly. You completely nailed that. As difficult as some things we went through were - we were almost insanely positive.&nbsp;<br /><br />I agree with the trial transcripts being add ons. So far as chapter names - they can always be changed.<br /><br />I probably didn't come across as clear. <strong>The police officer's names need to be changed (for their and their family's safety - especially given how many people view police right now). I have permission from the prosecuter and defense attorney to use their real names.</strong> <br /><br />Dale Veno (correct spelling (she is in the trial transcripts but they spelled it Vino) - her husband gave me permission to use her real name. She passed shortly after the main trial in 2009. I am going to put her name on the dedication page along with my grandmother's who both passed in February 2015 but list her as an unsung hero. Had she not insisted on calling the police, I don't know that everything would have lined up for Edward to be caught as quickly as he was... Also I don't now how to deal with it - but I will not ever use Edward's name in the book - he wanted to "be somebody by becoming a serial killer" and notoriety is exactly what he was after - I will not further that desire for him...<br /><br /><strong>So, if you have any ideas about either calling him Defendant or another name for him - I am open.&nbsp;<br /><br /></strong>Of note: After Bryan came home - half a day shy of 30 days - I researched the meaning of Bryan's name (Bryan Howard Chevalier) all three have to do with, hill, protector, shepherd, noble, nightly.<br /><br />I really felt when I looked up Mike Edward Ji's name I would find some untowards definition (again - we were fresh home from the hospital)<br /><strong>If you would like to change the names of the officers, that works for me as well.</strong> I was going to change them to names that denote chivalry or something very positive. I also committed to giving the police department a list of the orginal names with their pseudo-names. I really think many of the people who are named in the book will be a pretty large driving force in sales.&nbsp;<br /><br />I have yet to get in touch with the Reid's. He travels a lot - out of country but that is a simple find/replace once I know if I need to change it or not.&nbsp;<br /><br /><strong>I totally agree as well with the submission once I have the other back;</strong> if you can combine all of it - you would be my new best friend.&nbsp;<br /><br />I accidentally left off - 8 days chapter which really should be titled 6 or 7 days - Bryan was shot on Saturday night - at 9:11, was in surgery until 4:30 or 5:00 a.m., and yet the very next Friday was transferred to inpatient rehab. I will add it back the list.&nbsp;<br /><br />The documents I have ready to submit as of this time are already 12,130 words and doesn't include the foreword, 8 days, competency trial transcripts, witness impact trial transcripts, completing chapter KSFBJ and coincidences chapter. Waiting to submit will give me time to write and sleep on it in case additions are needed. I will probably submit Monday night so it is ready and waiting once you complete the other files.<br /><br />Words are inadequate of the excitement at the thought my book will be ready in a very short time.<br /><br />Many thanks!<br /><br />Barbara<br /><br />
