Of course when you wean someone off something, it's generally by getting them onto something else. Something just as substantial.

Something like Book 7 of the Saga perhaps  ;)  ;)  ;)  :laugh:

7 is a lucky number after all  :laugh:

It is frosty today, but sunny, which I like.

Kazza you are so right. I was weaned off BBM (sort of) and onto the Laramie Saga just as quite a few years ago I went from ciggies to choccies.

We will need to establish an Abandoned Laramie Anxious Readers Management group (ALARM) offering a 12-step program complete with recourse to "a higher power than ourselves" a la Alcoholics anonymous. Maybe we can contract out the group's facilitation to Louise now that she is looking for work. But then we would all have to pay her salary! Just how desperate are we folks?

ALARM!!! I love it  :laugh:

Of course asking Louise to facilitate such a group would be akin to asking your drug supplier to assist in your rehab from Class A narcotics. You just never know when they might just slip you something, you know, just for free.  ;)

Lousie - how many other books have you written?

oh let me see now.

19 volumes of poems, one of which I published, in two limited editions.  Four of the books I recorded in digital, then I just stuck a few more of them on the web.

Princes of the East - my first actual finished novel
The Two Empires - sequal to "Princes of the East" - unfinished

The Confession of Alexandrus Basileus 334 a.d.
(sequel planned)

The Death of a Mad Composer

The Erotic Etudes

Your Skinny Girl

and a couple of unfinished efforts.

I also wrote a series of erotic yaoi stories, and did a long roleplay with an original character I invented for a MUSH last year, which I have toyed with turning into an erotic fantasy novel.

Then came the Laramie Saga and sucked me in.

Most of the novels and 7 of my books of poems can be found on my website in full text.  www.zebratta.com
