I found many jobs. But tomorrow I will be washing windows for a day. My novel is now available on disk or by email. My friends helped me move it from manuscript to digital.
It was completed in 1988. The part I quoted was written in 1977. A review of it by Paul Martin, one of our forum's finest posters, I think, is found here: http://www.paulandellen.com/review.htm
I don't advertise it for sale on my web site
http://www.geocities.com/earthinspace2002/clearly.htm or here either and I don't remember what Paul sent me.
A quote from Kurt Vonnegut Jr. is found here:
"As I get older I grow less didactic." That statement has always intrigued me.
If the links don't work, I apologize.
There is a wonderful site if you want it
called Spaceflight which features all the obituaries for science fiction writers.
