Robert Earle
Today I'm going to keep working on a story about a girl who falls in love with her future husband's father, but then is forced to marry the son. The chief characters are Pompeia Paulina (descendent of Pompey the Great), Seneca the Elder and the more famous Seneca the Younger, a sickly young man touched by genius and a drive to exceed his father's accomplishments. The year is approximately 30 C.E. The arranged marriage becomes a close one, not because of bodies, but because of brains.

Actually that is exactly what I did Robert. I fell in love with an Asian immigrant, who was deported, I followed him back to his own country. He and I struggled for two years with authorities to return him to the country where we lived together, and were finally successful. For me to read The Pickup is to see my own life in Fiction. Why do you find it so difficult to credit?
