Perpetual Ray

I published a new short story on smashwords.com. It's a sequel to my other stories. The story uses 2 characters from another author. The other author was going to write some of the dialog for his characters, but then he proceeded to work on his own stories for 2 weeks, then finally he said it was ok with him if I wrote everything myself, as long as I said his characters were used by his permission. I then did another edit that added 700 words, mostly enhanced dialog for his characters, bumping the total word count for the story to over 4000. The 2 week delay actually worked out good, as it gave me a fresh look at everything and I'm happy with the results of the final edit.
