A rendering of Felice LeCroix, protagonist of Tale of the Tigers. Fine work done by Chris Muir.
I haven't reached my sales goals from a few weeks back, but Tale of the Tigers is selling steadily, if slowly, and gaining great reports and a following. Here's a great report from caveman:
I read it in one sitting.....stayed up late, only stopped once to take a leak and have a smoke. I must confess it ran the entire gauntlet with me...... a rare thought indeed when I have read a book I know will change my life. I just did. Somehow I am glad I know you somewhat. It messed with my head at work the day after..... You masterfully led one into a pleasant relation, abruptly shattered by the realities of unreasoned racism, jealousy and hatred. Then the belated epiphany of the ramifications of such behaviors. My gut was steel, my eyes wet..........for I know and have seen in my life what you related, both the greatest and worst in humanity. Fortunately I have never felt it, either given or received. I really think you should see about getting some reviews, say the NY Times? Well done, my friend...very well done!!!!!!!Thank you, friend.
As for the situation with my great-aunt, there have been ups and downs (today is an 'up' day), but I want to be a little bit more detailed when I come back from visiting her today.
FYI: my online friends--like Chris and like Ric Locke--are some of the best people in the world.
I'm still seeing sequel here, even more since I finished it. Actually, I'm seeing a long series of books, keeping you very busy.;D

Got it. Read it. No fair. I am 6'4" and 280 lbs, and you made me cry like a schoolgirl. :-)

It is not enough to have a good mind; one must use it well.
