Sounds like the kind of petty thing that Disney would do. I'm sure old Walt is spinning a record speed in his grave. I heard that Hiaasen was being sued by the bass fishing association because of his book that sideswiped the 'sport' of professional bass fishing, I think the book was called 'Double Wammy'. Disney & the Pro bass fishermen must be pretty insecure about themselves if they have to sue a relatively unknown to the mass audience writer like Hiaasen.

PF> Isn't her Claire Malloy series fun? I like the Maggody Hi Patsy, I tend to read mainly the hard-boiled variety of mysteries, and balance them with the lighter ones on occasion. I like the Clare Malloy series, but for some reason I haven't gotten as hooked by the Maggody series. That happens to me with other authors like Julie Smith. I really like the ones set in San Francisco with Rebecca Schwartz, but one of her other series that is set in New Orleans I like, but not nearly as well.

Kevin apparently does not have a FIDO feed currently.

I did get a mailing from Kevin is a founding member and secrectary of Hephaistos Foundation. BTW it is pronounced with the H silent, a long E, phase with a long A, tos like toes. Phonetically it would be Ephasetoes I'd guess. Hephaistos Foundation is a non-profit corp. dedicated to building an arts training center in the Rockies where promising students in all areas of the arts can receive hands on instruction from top professionals in their various fields. If any of you are familiar with the Yaddo School in Saratoga, NY I guess it will be similar to that. Among the Board of Directors are at least 4 mystery writers (William Bernhardt, Janet Hutchings, Alan Russell, and Kevin) so I'd say that is a strong plus to their cause. They do have a bi-monthly newsletter, and if you write to Kevin I'm sure they will add you to their mailing list. The foundations address: The Hephaistos Foundation 230 South Lark Ave. Louisville, CO 80027 Thanks to Suzanne Williamson for leaving me a copy of the last newsletter so can provide this info. If any of you remember Sue, she visit with me over the Labor Day weekend and we had a fine old time touring around, and chatting up storm about books, computers, and life in general.

Yes, after awhile they did have a certain "sameness," but I think that's what I looked forward to... I learned quite a lot from the Meyer character, AND put it to use! I loved the "Busted Flush" and as I aged right along with Trav, I could see him becoming a little slower but a little more sly. I'm a bit of a romantic, and anyone in "fact or fiction" that helps little old ladies, beautiful young women, and sticks by his friends no matter what... well, we just don't find that kind much anymore. Yes, JDM died, about 4 years ago if I remember correctly. Ah yes, he did. If I remember correctly, it was about 4 years ago. * SLMR 2.1a * ... Loan a book? Never. Loan my dog? Sure.
