Hey, guys, sorry to have been away for so long, but I've been trying to finish my book and ease my wife into retirement.
Currently, my handle here is "La Turista," a nom de plume I had to use since my original handle "The Tourist" doesn't seem to open or respond to my password.
Hey, I'm not a sock-puppet, it's still me, Chico.
I'm 'polishing' now, and I've met a woman in Canada who's helping me with the dialog used by my female characters. Look for my book to soon be haunting the bargain bins of gas stations and discount clothing centers near you!

Welcome back, what's been happening, all good I hope. Oh, it was real good! So good, in fact, that I needed new tires on both my motorcycles, and the little Harley had to go in for her 15K check up. Wisconsin got its CCW provision, and I was one of the first to get my license. After having the worst case of writers block in any country with an "R" in it, I met a woman from another writing forum--a Canuk--and she's going to help me polish the female dialog. I'm on Chapter 25, although most of the pivot chapters and the epilog is already in the can. So if you cannot put down any book in the genre of "semi-autobiographical, action/adventure, fantasy, quasi-religious, comedy pornography," I have got your book! Sure, it's been done to death. Consider the classics, "She Knocked His Apartment, So He Knocked Her Flat." Okay, okay, too old school, too baby-boomer. If you had an IBM 286, then you'll remember, "How Can I Miss You If You Won't Go Away?" Certainly you might remember the Proctologist in Lederhosen from "Two Pound Enema Polka." It's much like those, but with a more contemporary musical number. Oh, and I fought my publisher hammer and tong on this, but I can guarantee you, there are no zombies... |

That was easy!
I went into my "modify profile" page, backed out La Turista, and typed in "The Tourist."
I have my name back!

...I'm glad to be back. And just like everywhere I go, the last three to speak to me here are women! I still got "it." Now, if I can only get you to like my book.  |

I'm reminded of Marlon Brando in Wild One (I think that was the name of the movie), dark and mysterious.
