And thanks for tracking me down here, in my small corner of cyberspace.<br /><br />I remember that Devil-Slayer team-up (very early in my career, when I still had a LOT to learn as a writer). It was a pretty weird one, as I recall.<br /><br />All the best -- JMDJ.M.

WE make both songs and stories and I work 40 hours @ week, too, and it all seems too dear to shove anything completely aside. I think the main thing is, don't tell the Muse no too often and thank you very much. Lue stole a dollar in change from a junior church collection plate (once only) to find you, writing about the Devil (Slayer!---teamed with Spidey). He continues to thank the Divine for that long ago selfish prompting.Marc Kanehttp://www.ceaseill.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4193334913733210326.post-27028973847093178142009-09-28T09:49:05.332-04:002009-09-28T09:49:05.332-04:00I'm sad to say, Natalie, that Historcery is no...I'm sad to say, Natalie, that Historcery is not coming out. The publisher pulled the plug on the Abadazad series after the third book. Historcery was actually written—but the manuscript now lives only in limbo (and on my computer).<br /><br />I have a new book coming out next year called Imaginalis. It's very much in the spirit of Abadazad. I think it's something that you, and your students, will enjoy. All the best -- JMDJ.M.

Myself and several of my students are anxious to read the final book. Please e-mail me at nataliet130@optonline.net to let me know how and where I can get the book. I really would appreciate it. I just love the series!Natalie L.

That doesn't mean I've given up on ABADAZAD's return in its original form. As you noted: "Dreams come true and miracles happen."<br /><br />Thanks for another Cosmic Reminder!J.M.

Yes, indeed!<br /><br />The seemingly channeled nature of great ideas of any kind is a fascination of mine, and your "one unfolding fairy tale" description is a great image.<br /><br />In PROMETHEUS RISING, Robert Anton Wilson wrote "Intelligence is the capacity to receive, decode, and transmit information efficiently. Studpidity is blockage of this process at any point."<br /><br />This quote soothes my conscience when I label as Stupidity that which seemes to block ABADAZAD's transmission phase.Tim Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16027669269758716984noreply@blogger.com
