Folly's Challenge: Official Release date is 04-21-05

Post by aTOMiC »

For those of you who had contributed to the editing of my book (Dustin, Erin, Annie, Eric & dAN) I would like to apologize for the delay in getting you signed copies. After getting the book in the nick of time for Christmas, I re examined the manuscript and discovered many problems I wished to address before I submitted the book for mass consumption.

I'm getting close to submitting what will be a final version and I am hopeful I'll be able to get the new version soon and properly thank you all for your assistance.

Looks pretty Sweeet!
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. John Stuart Mill

Very nice, Chrom. I'll try to get a copy some time after X-mas. If you want, I can donate it to the local library when I'm done.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

:-) If you can bring yourself to part with it. :-)

Yes. It would be terrific to know a copy of my book is in a library.

Very Cool, Syl.

And thanks for the help.

To average it out is a bit misleading. There a couple that are as few as 5 pages. And some a much as as 60. I had fun jumping all around with the subjects. You Hierachy are one of the reasons I made this attempt. Your idea of a Kevin's Watch Anthology inspired me to go for it. I spent so much time getting my stories for the Antholgy I realized I might have enough material for a book. Thanks very much for that. :-)

Not at all. I should have re named the book Hierachy's Challenge. :-)

Any fool can make a suggestion, but it takes a special kind of person to go through with it.
