Hang on, I made her a "Person of Interest" and even sent her an Amazon Friends request. Mandy using her account would explain why she didn't respond....

Queotic. Was that her, Mandy? ;)

There hasn't been much activity on the Dune pages I check (Sandworms and The Science of Dune [no reviews yet], Hunters only rarely), so I've been branching out into Kevin's other book pages, along with hassling IDiots on the science-vs-Jayzussssssah discussions. ;)

All of my Lovecraft books are back in the States, but I got a hankerin' about a year ago and ordered a bunch of new paperback editions off Amazon.

Yeah. Head to toe. (I think they had toes.) With three arms. And they routinely "make the trip to Stockholm" and back again. Without the knives. Although some of them carry knives. Built-in.

But it's hard(er) scifi, so....

It was right before I went home to the States, so it kinda got lost (forgotten) in the shuffle/bustle. Sorry about that. :(
