Holy moly Write to Rick, CJ!!! If you are a published writer then
get on with it! I'm sure you will get edited and get loads of
feedback I am sure. Think of all the hidden esotera that will be
made available to you to assist you. That seems to be where the
unfinished works come from. Hey but I can't wait to have in my
collection something written by you dude! Crack on! :^)
What are the areas that most inspire you? (so we know what to look
forward to)
Regards
Rob
