Should get to it in a couple weeks or so. Its fun to see people like Douglas at variosu sites in the world of Blogdom.<br /><br />And I agree that having a series (in my case a trilogy) is the best way to achieve a career in writing. Douglas, best wishes for your success.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.stephentremp.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Stephen Tremp</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7127677169344207651.post-2783730784602372822010-08-24T11:37:52.939-04:002010-08-24T11:37:52.939-04:00Simon-I know, right?!
