Author's Notes #9

Oh, I had to change Raqi's name to Raki last night because it FINALLY hit me that Raqi was an analgram of Iraq and though I want the parallels to today's world as close as possible, I don't want to hit the reader with a sledgehammer. And if I DID end up using her as a symbol for Iraq, I might consider changing it back but for right now, the symbolism is too much to cement down.

So I'm changing the name.
