Yes, re the trilogy.<br /><br />And hey! thanks for the bump & link. I suspect RD will be grateful as well. If my interview gives you a preview, and that preview draws you in, then good!

I know, I'm disappointed that I'm not that fucking mean, too. I would be grateful if one of them was "Cold Rain and Snow."
