And, aaargh! those accents are atrocious and from the setting, it seems they are trying to say the story happens in Louisiana which makes those accents even worse!<br /><br />Michael:<br />Ttitles are crucial, whether in posts or in books! I'm happy you liked what I wrote. :-)<br /><br />D.G.:<br />Your support means more than I can say. We are all fellow soldiers in an ancient war, helping one another as we go.<br /><br />Heather:<br />Loving our story can keep us at it when the middle hump comes to drag us down, right?<br /><br />The Desert Rocks:<br />My success is having great friends like you and the others who commented today. Great sales on your book!<br /><br />Candy:<br />Thanks so much for adding a link to this on your post. I worked all day and now am on first call on the eve of Doomsday!<br /><br />Ann:<br />Thank you so much. Good to have you as a friend! :-)Roland D.
