"The Pen is mightier than the sword"
In between jousts on this board and other writing assignments, I am currently working on a novel. Coming up with the characters is relatively easy, since I just have to take people that I know and combine several together for a character.
One of the bad guys is an Air Force Captain (no offense to you AF men) who has very similar characteristics to a 'straight leg' Captain that I had the misfortune to have to work for for over six years.
I needed another bad guy character. For some reason, I came up with a Hamtramck Michigan born, motor pool mechanic who is unhappy with his life living in a trailer park outside of Tupelo, Mississppi with the former Miss Hog Pen 1988, Carrie May Sue Ellen Holt and their six younguns! This is his life, but he is unhappy with it as it does not fit his Napoleonic complex and gets invovled in some things where he holds absolute power.
Autographed copies will be available at Flatwater 2009 if I am allowed to cross the border into Nebraska (or gunships with 101st Division Insignia don't show up overhead before then).
Tongue firmly implanted in cheek,
Your subservient subject! :(
