Lovely story, I really liked Miguel though and hope there's a follow-up about him. Damn he's cool! This was a real treat, I'm glad it was included in S&S and TT. Great job, I've no real criticism or suggestions to make beyond the recommendation to include it in an anthology or send it to a magazine as it would be a shame not to publish it.

Thank you, I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Miguel was fun, so I’ll have to consider bringing him back somehow. I used to plan to write a full-length story, in which Jālūt and Miguel need to team up again to rescue Lia when she’s recaptured and taken to Constantinople; but something set in Spain might be interesting, too!

Thank you! I would definitely love to publish it somehow; I haven’t found a magazine yet that I could publish it in, but if I come up with another short story, I might be able to publish it in a little anthology along with the Good Friday short story I posted for Easter.

Well you could have her recaptured, and the two team-up could be a fun tale.

Miguel’s tale could work as a sequel?

That's an idea! It might be interesting to write about Miguel serving Don Juan, and he could interact with that other Miguel who was at Lepanto, Cervantes.

Yep exactly, this way you get two books out of it rather than just one!
