    A Day in the life of a Spymaster

    Most stories that involve espionage center around the spies themselves. Whether it's the glamourous but fictional exploits of James Bond or the real-life stories of wartime (and peacetime) spies.

    Researching real places . . .

    Anyone out there live in RI, and been to the Newport Hospital at some point? The more recent the better.

Using the constant battling motion of the beats, I am able to create more sounds than are actually being produced by any one musical instrument.

    Infection that requires a specific cure?

    My MC was shot in the leg and now he and my female MC are on a journey to look for a cure. Is there any specific illness/infection that might need a specific cure that wasn't plain antibiotics? Thanks.

    I am working on a book based around the variety of basic beliefs that are in society today and how they impact everyone, to be brief. I developed a survey to gather people's input on just the basics to start. However, I need more people than have taken it so far. If you have 5-10 minutes I would...

    When I began writing my book set in Sydney in 1966 I researched the background at the National Library in Canberra. I wanted to make sure my memory was accurate.
