I don't have anything I want to show around yet, but I have played
around with plans for two satirical novels. Working titles: "The
Harrowing of Hell: A Story of Law, Love, and Tech-Writing" and
(about a dot-com start up) "The Children's Crusade." However, unless
I win the lottery, neither is likely to see the light of publication
for a few years.

Trembling in the dark cloak of night,
Candles and laterns are dancing, dancing,
A waltz on All Soul's Night."
