And Perpetual Anticipation is what we authors live in with regards to being published and bought, right?<br /><br />Jasmine :<br />The credit all goes to Robert E. Howard's ghost!

Thanks for visiting mine. BOND is now playing TIME on Pandora.com, a fitting tune to my day today -- not enough time!<br /><br />Alex :<br />That very reason is why I could never get caught up in Isaac Asimov's tales, even though the premises were fabulous -- his characters seemed cardboard.<br /><br />D.G. :<br />I wish you luck in mapping out your new crime/suspense novel. You're at the fun stage! Thanks for dropping by, Roland<br /><br />Michael :<br />I've not gone to certain movies, that were very popular, because the lead character was not someone who interested me.
