Roland is still running the roads carrying rare blood to those in need.<br /><br />Wendy:<br />Sandra says my audiobooks of ADRIFT IN THE TIME STREAM (Oddly enough with William Faulkner with McCord) and FRENCH QUARTER NOCTURNE are quite beautiful and eloquent when read aloud. <br /><br />We bloggers must break out of the small circle of authors selling only to other authors if our novels are ever to stay high in the charts. Sigh. Thanks for the nice words. :-)Roland D.

But silk is also strong, so we can tug it back into place. <br /><br />A thoughtful post, Faulkner, thanks. Hope Roland is not overworking.D.G.

No good comic tells the punchline first. :-)<br /><br />I wish I could sit in on your class. A friend made me a puppet of Hibbs, the cub with no clue. He would be a big hit with your class I know! She also made me a puppet of Aslan. He would be the straight man for all of Hibbs jokes! Or maybe the other way around!!<br /><br />I'm glad you liked my metaphor, RolandRoland D.

Ugh, though. <br /><br />The whole history of The Silk Road fascinates me. I got to learn more about it when researching China for my class. It was hard and bitter and dangerous. <br /><br />Great metaphor! Loved it :)The Words Crafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14520267901489487512noreply@blogger.com
