A fantasy. <br /><br />I am having a problem killing a man, so have currently been moved from murder mystery to crime. Robbery or ID Theft, since I have been enjoying it for approx a year now. Personal lessons always work well.SZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04619234741371231701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226151.post-37230229439552239162009-11-09T14:59:33.423-05:002009-11-09T14:59:33.423-05:00Quite a few people have told me they loved that bo...Quite a few people have told me they loved that book, but after reading your description I'm not so sure I want to read it!<br /><br />I have the opposite problem. I always end up adding characters in my second draft because I don't have enough. And I usually only have one major crime. If there are any smaller crimes, I make sure they relate somehow to the big one.Joyce Tremelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00498392016497131719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226151.post-81325127179350847932009-11-09T11:17:42.686-05:002009-11-09T11:17:42.686-05:00He was a bit eccentric, which may have contributed...He was a bit eccentric, which may have contributed to the plethora of subject matter. Interesting dude, though. And dead, sadly. He originally planned a 10-book story arc for the series, and managed to finish three books, start a fourth, and outline a fifth and sixth before he died. Last I heard, the decision was made not to do anything with the work he didn't finish. I really ought to try to read this book...Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01442754671445893599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226151.post-53237599603042499842009-11-09T07:38:02.324-05:002009-11-09T07:38:02.324-05:00Yeah, I liked that stock market description, too, ...Yeah, I liked that stock market description, too, Annette. The best I've been able to come up on own is an analogy to counterfeiting -- manipulations to artificially inflate the value of stock is a lot like printing fake currency.<br /><br />By the way, in my list of what is included in that book, I realize I left out fratricide, suicide, extortion, black mail, and risking a catastrophe.Ginanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226151.post-14888465923563310842009-11-09T06:51:18.089-05:002009-11-09T06:51:18.089-05:00Wow.

And I love his description of the difference between the economy and the stock market.Annettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02755947919433555176noreply@blogger.com
