Thank you all for the warm reception you have given my story. I'm rapidly approaching the end of book one. Book two should be available mid-summer.
I've been around a while and I continue to learn lessons. For instance, a long time ago, I learned if I go down to the Big Hole River at dusk in August and tie on a black woolly-worm chances are good that I'll hook a nice brown trout. I cherish that lesson. I learned another lesson here--that there exists a race of beings with powers far beyond the likes of you or I. The power they possess is called the "all-seeing editorial eye." (Frankly, I shudder to think of what they traded to gain this power.) The experience of posting here reminded me that I do not belong in the same room with these Demi-gods. Thanks to Jesus, they have proved to be a generous bunch.
