Like you, I think many often confuse "cool" with character.<br /><br />Thank you, Roland<br /><br />Heaven :<br />The tragedy of it is that she is certain that if he succeeds in his quest, what he will learn will mean he will never call her "beloved" again.Roland D.

It's challenging and fun to write his perspective of the Old West and being an undead Texas Ranger. Thanks for enjoying his words. RolandRoland D.

I think of them as the Cid and his Dona Jimena (from the movie that I and the rest of the League of 5 would watch and re-watch -- hiding our tears at the end from one another, of course!)<br /><br />Donna :<br />I do love my backstories! But life and those we meet are full of them, right? Thanks for enjoying Sam and Meilori's love affair.<br /><br />Laila :<br />I think you might truly enjoy the end of ADRIFT IN THE TIME STREAM -- it pits their love against the very incarnation of evil himself. <br /><br />And I have written Haiku's. In fact, Meilori's speaks one in RITES OF PASSAGE and Kirika quotes in the LOVE LIKE DEATH trilogy :<br /><br />Dreams drift like clouds,<br />I reach to touch the moon,<br />I grasp but empty night.<br /><br />Thanks, all of you, for visiting and talking to me in my enforced exile, RolandRoland D.
