From the Author

thanks!
Thanks for the shout outs and support from "Sister, Sister" to the present. And thanks trekking through this cyber-wormhole and chillin' out at my little DS9. (Hmmm...if only I could think of a Voyager and Next Generation reference..)

I love to read the reviews -- well, most of 'em. LOL. Whether you like the book or not (that's on you) On posting your review/comments PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE (my James Brown impersonation -- get my cape, I'm ready to roll) follow amazon's guidelines and don't reveal any key plot points or twists. That spoils it for the rest of the readers who haven't picked up the book yet. (If you're new to this, please don't hesitate to check out amazon's sample reviews before you post) And it's kinda cool when I read the reviews (on my page or anyone else's page) that actually have something to do with the book at hand, instead of all the comparisons to other peeps with books. (inhale, exhale, now focus...much better)

So much baggage, so few baggage handlers.
