Hi Gang,

The long awaited posting Tim by Cole Parker has happened. I had received several requests to post this popular story and now that it has been 'tweaked' to the satisfaction of Cole... it's ready for you. As it is a complete novel, there's no reason why you don't dive right into it today. We're also posting Beginning by Cole Parker which first appeared at Codey's World. If you haven't read it yet, you've missed a fine story about overcoming fears over not fitting in.

Everybody's Wounded by Duncan Ryder wraps up this weekend. Duncan says... And for those who wonder what happens to Luc.... there will be a second book. It will be called How the Light Gets In, also from a song by Leonard Cohen.

The birds they sang at the break of day

Start again, I heard them say

Don't dwell on what has passed away

Or what is yet to be...

Ring the bells that still can ring

Forget your perfect offering

There is a crack in everything

That's how the light gets in.

-- Leonard Cohen, Anthem

Excellent!

I'll hopefully be writing the next News & Views from the Kuala Lumpur lounge while waiting for my connecting flight to Los Angeles but if it isn't there... don't panic. I'll send it along as soon as I arrive in my new digs...

Until we meet again... have a great week of reading!
