To Marcus, Sikander, Tre, Agesilos, Susan, Bucefalus, Linda, Dean, Janet, Kenny, and Karen...and anyone else that has provided much needed support and information so tirelessly over the last four years...The epic is finished.

Excellent, Nick, many congratulations. I really enjoyed the small amount I read - crikey, over a year ago! - and I know how much time and effort you've put into it.Dare I believe that I might be reading a properly bound copy one day, purchased from my local bookstore?All the bestMarcus

Atha,
I've written an epic rhyming poem on Alexander's life. For everyone else who has chimed in...A huge thank you for your wishes of wellness and congrats! I'm doing some minor edits on the work, looks like another month or so of fine tuning the couplets, reworking some of the tenses and whatnot. I'm now actively looking for a publisher or an agent. later Nicator

Nick --CONGRATULATIONS!!!It's a great feeling, isn't it?Like everyone else I want to know when I'm going to be able to read it (obviously not for a month at least). We shall all be waiting with baited breath. Perchance you'd post a snippet, an appetizer, as it were, for those who've seen none of it?I wish you the very best finding a publisher.In creativity,
Karen
