The beautifully typeset PDF file intended for printing doesn’t convert so well to handheld devices. Or at least there’s lots of characters that don’t map properly to my Palm PDA anyway.

I’m going to bring it to the attention of some of my wealthier friends. Good Post

I was a fan of both you and the Subterranean Press before I read that proceeds from this short story go towards Lupus research. Now, I’m extremely respectful as well. I have not yet been formally diagnosed with Lupus, its a hard condition to pin down, and thankfully my case isn’t yet severe enough to be conclusive. Instead, I’m encouraged to live as healthy and happy a life as I can. Not to sound corny, but your writing is a welcome part of that life. Thanks!

Laurel (from Canada)
