Thus, I must hurry, based on this time zone.<br />Anyway, congrats, I think, on your being tagged. And good luck to the recipients of said tagging. I really am intrigued with your synopsis of your book. Rather timely and provocative.<br />Have a great weekend on Vancouver Island.<br />Garyklahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1828517374142265050.post-66372153032590693972012-09-28T17:36:03.909-07:002012-09-28T17:36:03.909-07:00Mynx, a long way from thoughts of publishing yet. ...Mynx, a long way from thoughts of publishing yet.

I'm not sure how much a stomach I have for "gory deaths" (cue Tale of Two Cities), but the whole engineered environmental disaster, I'm curious as to what angle you take on it. Oh, and I'm with you on the stupid scientist hyping up false data to prove global warming. Grr. Darn politicians and their forced agendas. <br /><br />Hey, I haven't said this yet, but I'm wishing you the best on your querying. My spreadsheet looks about like yours at the moment. Let's see who can land an agent first, eh? On your marks, get set...my darn gun just jammed. *sigh* Crystal Collierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03912469552483168148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1828517374142265050.post-38325732762452620062012-09-24T00:07:35.067-07:002012-09-24T00:07:35.067-07:00Hi Ian .. congratulations on the awards .. and for...Hi Ian .. congratulations on the awards .. and for querying via stalking agents!
