Dear Miss Marcia of the Marvelous Manners,
Hmmmm.... to claim am doing research for a book.... hmmmm....
am in the process of writing a new book re. Kosova while working on the covers of Waltz with the Wind and The Horseman and the rest of the quintette.... am stretched beyong belief because after years of being stretched on the rack of kismet...
anyhow...
but... you know what...
had I not originally thought of combining my prev. published novel, ride the eagle, with its sequel-in-progress (for the last 7 years!) Don't Let the Light Go Out... and I had even thought of writing a movie scrpit and hiring He Who is Silent for the lead...
I mean... hey... indeed, my publisher has to send me a contract for Don't Let the Light Go Out... and ... if I have the contract (mind you, there is no up-front money in this deal, just promise of royalties...) but... hey, I can have
DON'T LET THE LIGHT GO OUT"S protagonists have a steamy, romantic, nostalgic, educative... episode around Chimney Rock, and the falls, and a bunch of LOTMers who came there frolicking... and it can be part of a "entirely true, wholly fictional" novel... and yes, perhaps I can deduct the receipts when the royalties come rolling in...
hmmm... hmmmm....
