Today is the 4th anniversary of the worst ever tragedy in the Channel.
At least 27 men, women & children drowned in the freezing water, & 4 more have never been found.
Since then, neither we nor the French have done a thing to offer people in this situation with real solutions.

I do like that in THE TERMINATOR, the future of humanity hinges, in a way, on storytelling--Kyle Reese's unfailing faith in, and love for, a woman from the past that he's never met, having been told stories of her heroism by her son. Sarah Connor sees that faith, and loves him for it.

If you're an author being published by small and tiny presses, please shamelessly promote your work, however much your temperament might militate against it. I've seen many wonderful authors at this level so quickly forgotten when they die, you deserve all the readers you can get while you're alive.
