Think it's a good idea to break in? You're dead wrong. (Apologies if this doesn't strike you as humerus.)

I had another dream about lions at the door They weren't half as frightening as they were before But I'm thinkin' about eternity...

A stuffed lion peers out at you through the duct-taped window of an apple-red pick-up truck, the reflection of the Chicago streetscape behind you framing its face in the glass on a blue, sunny afternoon.

When our peace lily feels a bit parched, it goes full drama queen and droops flat, like it's never been so dry and has no hope of feeling the touch of water ever again. Give it a little, and it perks right back up again. So tonight, my wife and I named it Zachary. "The pain! The pain!"

Of course, I'd love to make more money from my fiction. But comments like this will keep me at the keyboard, even if I never bring in another dime. You knock yourself out. You put it out there and hope somebody somewhere hears you. And then someone does. I'm rich.

An ad for the book THE JOURNEYMAN, with a comment on it that says: I really enjoyed this book and the two that followed...is there going to be a fourth??
