From the Editorial
The following story is a sequel to “Dreaming Of The Knight” by Susan M. Garrett. If you haven't read it yet please stop and do so now. The set up, some of the flashbacks and Nick's guilt in “A Little Knight Music” will be confusing if you plan on doing it later. Do it now. Good, now that you’ve read “Dreaming” you can continue.
If there is one thing I've learned over the course of writing “Music” it is; never, ever read Susan Garrett fiction under the influence of drugs! My involvement in Forever Knight fandom is a direct result of doing just that. Please, let me explain: I had viewed all the American FK episodes before Susan, but she was brilliant enough to have purchased a copy of Forever Net I at MediaWest and read it before me. The rest, as they say, is history. Now, after I watched all the episodes I posted them back to Susan with a note, saying, I loved them but I was not was about to get involved in another fandom - no way, no how, no.
About four months later, while I was recovering from oral surgery (when they say the pain isn’t too bad don't believe them, they lie, it's agony!) Susan took pity, and to cheer me up, she sent along a copy of her manuscript, “Dreaming Of The Knight.” When I surfaced halfway from the Tylenol and Codeine, I plunged into it, finishing about three in the morning. I took several more of the codeine and drifted off to sleep when the throbbing quieted down a bit. When I surfaced again, the first thing I did was call Susan and muffle something like: “Suthan, you can't leaf the stoy like thaf.” Her answer was, “Yes, I can.” The argument ensued with much laughter and giggling on Susan's part and a whole lot of indignation on mine. The upshot of it was, if I wanted a sequel, then I would have to write it. My answer was, “No, I can’t.” To which Susan said, “Yes, you can.”
For about the past year I've been like the “Little Engine that Could” - I think I can, I think I can, I think I can. One day I found that I could - it was done. And many thanks are due many people: to Susan first and foremost, without whom I would not have started nor completed the project; to Don Bassingthwaite who answered my frantic e-mail messages for exact locations so very promptly and with no questions asked; to Karin Weiss for being a good friend and great beta reader; to Sharon Himmanen for being such a sport - I knew I had done something right when she missed her stop on the subway at one in the morning coming from Manhattan. Yes, gentle reader that is when “This is my fish, this is my clue, that was my stop” was born! Sharon, your comments were invaluable. Patti Heyes for proofing yet again, Ann Larmier for doing such a terrific cover on short notice (yet again) for a fandom you don’t really care for - just not her thing and that’s okay too. To Marianne Glad for her assistance on EMT specialists, blood volume, etc. To Mary G.T. Webber, for just being Mary, for getting me going when inspiration was sagging a bit and for answering some technical medical questions. And for all the people on FK Fic and ForKni-L for just being there.
This one’s for you.
