Since you alluded to the ending, could you elaborate a little on why you went with the “upbeat ending” instead of a tragic ending? For most of the novel, I was anticipating a gut-wrenching tragedy with how you had interacted the characters in the flashbacks and the level of hell that you were putting them through (but, I admit that dragging the protagonists through the seven levels of hell is a bit of a trademark for your novels no matter what the ending). Was this planned from the beginning or did you agonize over this?

The original ending was a tad more ambiguous, and, in fact I didn’t know for sure that Lilly would survive the penultimate chapter until I wrote it. I decided against killing her off because that would have been a cop-out. The last scene could have gone in several directions, and Anne over at Spectra nudged me in the direction I went. It required a little re-writing of Uldolf, as he doesn’t have an easy task in that scene.
