I'm on a Band of Brothers roll - I've read the original book by Stephen Ambrose and the memoirs of Bill Guarnere, Edward Heffron and David Kenyon Webster, which all made great and interesting reads, and I've got a few more books to look forward to. I don't know what it is I find so fascinating...

(Aw, thanks for the compliment, Summerflyte! Don't tell me you know the film it's taken from!) Lovely quote, too!

Princess Fiona, the whole text by Emerson is one of my favourites! "My dear boy, please don't put a label on me - don't make me a category before you get to know me!" John Irving: In One Person

That sounds interesting, thanks!

Jonathan Stroud - Bartimaeus: The Ring of Solomon The prequel of Stroud's wittily entertaining Bartimaeus trilogy tells the story of how the loud-mouthed, full-of-himself and nevertheless likeable djinn came to get involved in a feud between King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. Full of...

Looks good to me so far!

I hope so (but not me). Have you ever written something that got published?
