And... I will have to look up that Moorcock story.

Andersen Prunty Thanks for the kind words, Rich!

Best,
Andy


Louise Enjoyed ITTCS very much, Rich! A creepy little read, and I was impressed by how well you wrote in the female pov through Beth. Your 1984 setting came off as very vivid, and I enjoyed the 80s metal references! heh


Michael Congrats again on the publication of your book, Rich! Glad to see it's doing well.

-- Mike A.


Louise Thank you for the add, Rich. :)
