Sir, could I ask 1 more question? Which book that you have read in your lifetime gave you the biggest book hangover as defined by how much you missed reading it after finishing and had trouble thinking of the next book to read? For myself it is one of your books "Gravity Dreams" as I missed the quauntum physics, nanite technology, Tyndel and Cerrelle discussions, the new universe of Engee and Rykasha relationship.

For me, there are several books I keep thinking about, but two come to mind immediately -- Roger Zelazny's CREATURES OF LIGHT AND DARKNESS and Sheri S. Tepper's THE GATE TO WOMEN'S COUNTRY -- obviously for very different reasons. But I wouldn't say that they gave me the kind of "book hangover" you describe.

Hello , I don't really have a question for you . I just wanted to say Thank You!!! Your books have been enjoyed by me and my youngest son many times. I feel as though they helped to bridge some of the difficult teenage years because we could always talk about your books even if we found nothing else to say! I guess i am asking if you plan on writing forever? Maybe his children can use them the same way we did.

Thanks for your response. For real life politics, the US Congress has 100 senators, 435 representatives, 6 delegates, 12,500 official's staff, 6,000 committee staff, 3,000 at Library of Congress and 3,000 GAO. Then add State, County, Township and City officials and a Congress persons must know thousands of people. From your experience, how many people did you know by name when you were on the congressional staff?

Your Recluse series jumps around in time from two book sets to the next, in your other novels you follow the three book series method. Compared to many other authors, you are the only one that seems to jump in time completely, where others just use the "flash back" or legend tales. Do you find this to be unique in your writing or is it how the stories have developed in your exploration on how they want to be told?
