What a hor...A foray into the mind of John Rickards. What a horrible, horrible thought. <BR/><BR/>I still contend that his books present a much sanitised version of the John Rickards' mind (on the whole a good thing), but I agree that huge international bestsellerdom could well be on the cards.<BR/><BR/>Personally I think it'll come in the form of the Cthulhu Holmes omnibus, but you never know.Vincent Holland-Keenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13620266525944160618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18499463.post-1136520413739517562006-01-05T23:06:00.000-05:002006-01-05T23:06:00.000-05:00Hey, no problem tambo!

There are some brilliant writers in the field.<BR/><BR/>Though most of it isn't as heartwarming as what you write, but a lot of it is incredibly thought-provoking social commentary. But John should know about more sales -then he owes me more drinks! There's going to be a party at Harrogate unlike they've seen before!

Before this post, that is. Now I want to read this book. Dang. More money. Oh well, off to Borders.<BR/><BR/>*psst! Don't tell John about the sale. Let's keep him pure and unspoilt.
