Part of the initial mental image of this story, though, was his sister drinking straight from the bottle.<br /><br />Thanks, Natalie!<br /><br />Aidan, how else would Morgana keep her girlish figure for 1500 years? ;-)<br /><br />Chuck, that's good… one of the things this story told me when I started writing it, was that pacing would make or break it.<br /><br />Eat hearty, Helen, launch parties are hungry work!!!<br /><br />Craig, I think it might be coincidence that he has deputies named Wayne, Percy, and Lance. Might. :-D<br /><br />Thanks, Steve!<br /><br />JohnX, it wanted to tie into <i>White Pickups</i> somehow. But in that story, Cody is more the King Arthur figure.<br /><br />Wow, thanks Cindy!Larry Kollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317037795075278427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-71965624934666021212012-07-14T18:23:06.571-04:002012-07-14T18:23:06.571-04:00This is beyong great Larry!
