Rascal, Tashe, Lobo and Mama,
 
Thanks for the nice words.  As far as talking to someone 'famous' is
concerned, don't get your hopes up.  I'm just your average, run-of-the-mill,
grumpy old man - Paw Paw for short.
 
The book is Science Fiction.  It does have a few 'elastic hamsters' in it
which is probably it's only redeeming value.  I'm currently working on a
re-write and hope I get done before interest in it goes away, or I do.
 
Being off of the FML for awhile certainly does not make one 'dumb'.  If so,
then I'm dumber than a box of rocks that ain't got a clue!
 
Hope your recovery from the back surgery goes well.  Write to me directly,
if you wish, and we'll talk some more.
 
Paw Paw
