Of course he's called 'Josh'.

Football nerdery: 'on mornings after United won a championship' is odd phrasing, 'the League' would be more usual. 'The Championship' is the 2nd tier of the league and Utd have never been in it when it was called that. The word doesn't usually get used generically. There's also 'the Champions League', but Utd have never won that in quick enough succession to really work as a plural. You've also effectively dated her time in Manchester to the nineties or noughties (deliberately?), which probably works.

evidently, while i was writing this, i never expected my readership to go international, or to extend much farther than my immediate friends and family. McCrae caught some fumbles too; it's one of the pitfalls of creating characters who are more worldly than i am. i'll do some stealth edits if i ever do a Kickstarter print edition.

Evangeline is really the best of all of us. I wouldn't have been so resistant to giving Josh a short bout of cardiac arrest.
