“All that I wanted, I received
All that I dreamed, I achieved
All that I feared, I conquered
All that I hated, I destroyed
All that I loved, I saved
And so, I lay down my head weary with despair, for
All that I needed, I lost”

Cheers Mike! :-) If you're interested in beta reading AEoTTC, just shoot me an e-mail ([email protected]) or message via http://jamesislington.com/contact.aspx, so I can add your e-mail address to the list. I'll only be picking a few people at random off what's already a very long list though, so definitely no guarantees. Thanks again!
