From the Romantic SF website in re Lee and Miller's Crystal Dragon, we have the following reader comment:

I'm a Miller & Lee fan but did not buy their latest because I was annoyed. I think this book should have come out *before* their last book (Sword of Orion?). When authors write trilogies or duologies, IMO the books should come out one after another as soon as possible. To have a nonrelated book come between is an insult to fans who wanted the next book ASAP. I realize Miller & Lee might not be to blame and perhaps I'm "punishing" the wrong entity, but I felt the need to make a statement, albeit a very tiny insignificant one.

I tried to answer reasonably. I probably shouldn't have bothered.

papersky -- it's the pollen count, absolutely. All the little spore thingies are getting into people's brains and clogging up the higher functions.

Boring ol' day

Did the gym thing (got to get back to doing more of the gym thing, alas, as there is a little too much of me nowadays. These are the wages of a winter of indolence.), went out to the post office. Anticipated check not there. Sang to myself on the way home.

Balanced the house checkbook. Sang to myself some more.

Had lunch with kinzel, after which the two of us ventured out into the day to visit our friends at the Animal House in their new!improved! digs. Looks very nice, lots more room, very airy and spacious. I hope they do well there.

Made a quick stop at the grocery store and home to dishes and a Very Tiny Bit of writing -- mostly dialog, but good dialog. I'm liking Mr. Ignat' a lot, a viewpoint not necessarily shared by Our Heroine. Have to knock off early because of the meeting scheduled for this evening -- for which I am Almost Late...
