Notes on the Grand Duchy of Upper Danubia as a society (the stuff that didn't make it into the novel) Readers have commented and asked me questions about my imaginary country, the Grand Duchy of Upper Danubia. Here are some details to give you an idea of what this imaginary society is like, of what I envisioned when I created it. I want to emphasize that...

For the second day in a row Polly was busy at her desk when I arrived at the office. I went into my room and placed my jacket in the closet and then went to check my note of what Polly was entitled to wear today. The entry for Thursday read: "Thu - white c. p - inside front; white bra - front right cup - nothing else". With perfect timing Polly came into m...
Caroline sat back in her chair and exhaled noisily, eyes closed. It was going to be one of those days. She had just sat through a three hour board meeting at which the chairman had been nitpickingly critical of her plan to boost the company's fortunes, garnering the support of half the non-execs, while those she considered her usual allies had remained silen...
