Corban is very much loved! Can’t wait to get my hands on him—going up this weekend.

I have a good following with my articles, so... I enjoy writing, and—not bragging—but I am good at it. I’ve read a lot of stuff that was published by big name authors that’s not as good as some of my stuff. My friends and relatives like my books. :) Not that they’re prejudiced or anything! And it makes me happy, and that’s a great deal of it.

Nora Roberts publishes under at least one pen name—because she has such a back log of unpublished material they were trying to get out. Shaking head. I can’t imagine.

My only problem is time! Everything, and I do mean everything, gives me an idea for a new story! I have about 8 novels going right now and I switch back and forth whenever I get an idea.

Have a great day!

That is the way it should be.

Earle Stanley Gardner had a staff of secretaries that did his typing and he spent his time thinking up new plots.

LOL, I read most of his books, before TV ruined them.

Few know that he was also an avid treasure hunter in the west and was the first [? according to my memory] to use a helicopter in treasure hunting.

He wrote several books on treasure hunting and they are good. The only title that I can recall is “Hovering over Baja”, in it he saw a very tall man come into the hotel and asked him about his history.

He went and explored the hidden mountain top that the tall man came from, found his relatives were all tall, indeed the tribe were all taller than is expected.

He had a lot of photos in it, and they even allowed him into the Sacred Cave and he had photos of their Pictographs, recording their history.

You will enjoy meeting Corban, give him an extra hug for me.

Above this post, is one I sent to you, it will enable you to get more done in a day............LOL
