I'm glad you escaped after only three days ... but about the novel ... I have written two of them and find it difficult to get anyone to read them, including family members ... so, if you'll E-mail me yours, I'll E-mail you one of mine and I promise I'll read yours if you promise to read mine.

It's a deal. See my profile for the first 7 chapters. I'll send the rest within 24 hours.
