I am currently writing of poor French-language challenged Mark Twain, Thomas Edison, and Horace Greely fumbling about on the streets of Marseilles. I am laughing out loud as I write. I am a little over half-way through this novel. Then, I will have the short story to write and the Study Guide to go along with the novel as well. Whew! Still a far way to go! Wish me luck.<br /><br />Best of sales to you, Lee!Roland D.
