Answers to 2 and 3: Gwen, Art and Lance represent the characters in the legend of King Arthur. Dante meets Guinevere and Lancelot in the first circle of hell where they are being punished for their sin. They are thrown about by an eternal storm that represents the passion that controlled them in life.

I just got back from the Dallas-Fort Worth Writers Conference. It was a lovely event, organized and educational, but my first night there I was a little on edge.
I’d never been to Texas before. I’d never met my publisher before. I was teaching two workshops I’d never taught before. You get the idea.

CHAPTER ONE
The Medieval anchoress would often be laid on a funeral bier and given last rites before being carried to her anchorhold, the small cell in which she’d be entombed for the rest of her days.

No longer a participant in the affairs of men, she became an observer, viewing the world through a small window in her cell wall. The symbolic death of self–one’s desires, biases and agendas–is the only path to true objectivity.
