Other a2k memebers are in books, magazines, whatever . . . So I'm not real unique.

Edgar, I'm so happy you are published. I know you can't post your book access for sale on A2K but if you will send me a PM with the info I would like to take a look.

CONGRATULATIONS!

Care to name any names, edgar? Joe Nation, I'd say, but others? But perhaps that's not possible, though, given the possible identity concerns. Some folk mightn't appreciate that at all. But it'd be good to know, though!

OK, I'll just make my own assumptions! Very Happy

I think they will tell what they want folks to know. I wouldn't presume.

I don't know how to respond to a thread like this. I suppose I can give a bit of background. About thirteen - fourteen - years ago, a person I loved for about forty years wounded me. He had been increasingly petty of late; then, when I crawled into the passenger seat of his car, singing a brief snatch of "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas," he totally lost it. For at least ten minutes he railed against Christmas in the bitterest terms, much like the character in my book. When he finished, he turned up the radio to make any sort of response all but impossible. For three years his action weighed on me. Finally, I began an angry story. If I could not reach him in this life, I would create another, in which I could. In fact, taking a scattergun approach, I made others who had riled me into characters. Even based one on Newt Gingrich.

As the tale began to shape up, the anger faded, the hurt subsided. The finished product became a labor of love. The man who inspired me to write Ebenezer's Ghost has no more power over me.
