Sample Chapters updated - draft 9.5 finished

I updated the sample chapters. I haven't posted for a while while I've been focused on getting a real job, and today most of that just fell apart on me. Trying to do something constructive, I finished this draft. Nothing major is changed outside of the first chapter, which is more visual, I hope.

As a reminder to myself (after all, no one reads this blog yet, except for me), getting the chapters formatted for posting consists of:

1) save the word doc as a text file
2) open with notepad and turn off word wrap
3) highlight the blank spaces at the front of the lines, copy that and past into 'find and replace' then replace with the html paragraph tag
4) copy the entire chapter and paste it into blogger's edit html screen
NB - the blank spaces wound up in two different formats, 4 spaces and 5 spaces. That was easily dealt with by doing this twice. Each chapter was consistent for it's length


This should be good for the whole book in html, but certainly each chapter cut and pasted in blogger properly.
