Alan,Good to get your reply...and to catch up on your latest works. This month I published (finally) a novel entitled "The Shakespeare Conspiracy." Check out the web site. Some guy from Chicago did a magnificent job on it.

Good to hear from you.
Ted
Now, Alan, if I can just find the time to read someone's books besides my own, I may actually, one day, be a bit more of an active participant than I am presently. That said, I'm contracted for about five more books, so it looks as if it may be awhile yet. That said, I look forward to reading your recommendations. --William.
