Afterword

All Catholic theology and belief described in this novel is based on my own research: I am grateful to Daegaer for her advice, but any errors are mine and not hers.

Shoshanna, editrix supreme, provided incalculable help with the first and following drafts of “Sins and Virtues”. Thank you.

Susan Elizabeth Leinbach

Born: 28th November 1966

Died: 15th June 2006

Susan wrote as Iolanthe: you’ll find her M*A*S*H slash stories on her website, iolanthe.netfirms.com/Slashfic.htm. She wrote the first Hawkeye/Mulcahy stories I read: Spin the Bottle, Compassion, the unfinished story Playing the Game, and a trilogy: Caught, Possibilities Escape. (She also wrote as Scarlatti on livejournal, where we first met.)

Thank you, Susan. I wish we could have met in person: I'm glad we touched via fandom.

Doug Spencer, Susan's partner, wrote in response to a query about donations in Susan's memory:

"I might suggest that any charity local to you which is involved in cancer research, cancer treatment or palliative care would be pleased to receive donations in her memory. Cancer Research UK (formerly The Imperial Cancer Research Campaign and The Cancer Research Campaign), Marie Curie Cancer Care and the Macmillan Nurses are all organisation worth googling for in the UK. Similar organisations exist in the USA and Canada. Any one of a number of local hospices, and a couple of hospice umbrella organisations, would be pleased to have your money.

"If you're a taxpayer, there may be techniques provided by your government to ensure that your donation reaches its target accompanied by any tax which you might otherwise have had to pay: in the UK, google for "gift aid", or fill out the appropriate sections of the screen if you're donating online. Similar techniques will exist in other jurisdictions.

"If these issues don't enthuse you, there will be others which do. Contribute time, energy and money to causes which you feel are going to help you to honour Susan's memory. Wherever you choose to give it, whatever you choose to give will be gratefully received and faithfully applied."

“Sins and Virtues” is distributed free of charge. You can copy it and pass on copies to anyone you think might like it. Please include this page whenever you copy “Sins and Virtues”, in whole or in part. Remember Susan. I will.

Love,
