A number of folks from this board have visited the site and left supportive comments -- I appreciate them all. Someone from this board asked me who my favorite writers were and I'd thought I'd post the response here for feedback: Donaldson -- the scope and variety of unique creatures in his land wer...

My spouse LOVES yoga, but I always fall asleep during the final relaxation pose! I think the essence to a workout is doing stuff you actually like to do. I can do brisk walking, and swimming laps, but I cannot jog or run on those silly machines where I feel like a hamster running and getting nowhere...

Purchasing and Marketing Officer for a clinical lab. Almost anything we buy or sell I have to approve. Get's pretty schizo -- as marketer I want to give things away and sell for as little as possible, as Purchaser I want to pay as little as possible. Between the two, it evens out!

And Northern Europe settings and charaters, ala Tolkien, is way too overdone I know what you mean. In this case, this was the story and the setting that spoke to me four years ago when I started. However, the new series I am working on now while I wait to see what my agent makes happen to this stor...

Forgiving is difficult -- had he not been a leper and impotent, and thus so sure he was dreaming, I don't think the crime could have been forgiveable. I thought it was an extremely powerful scene in that it had been set up so well his situation -- and the power of the Land, the new senses assailing ...
