She asked me if I was going to let my friend read it and I was confused by whom she meant. She clarified: "Your author friend."

I said, "Oh, you mean New York Times bestselling Author F. Paul Wilson!" This is how I refer to Paul whenever I speak to the unenlightened. Well it was at this point that the HR manager Suzanne burst into the office and says excitedly... "Did you say F Paul Wilson, he is my favorite writer!"
Well, I had never had much to do with HR or Suzanne in general but in that instant I turned heterosexual and she and I are getting married.
Okay, that last part didn't happen but it is so awesome to know that someone else in this square state knows a great storyteller when she sees one.
She is going to borrow the adversary cycle from me as she is only familiar with jack right now and some medical thrillers. She will be well versed in all things FPW and may even begin posting on the board.

Susan Wrote:Hunh. Frankly, I'm a bit stung. I was sure I'd be the first het girl you'd turn to if you decided to change teams. But I see you found a "Susan-esque" surrogate to take my place.Hey Susan,
Oh, bitter pill...

Sorry, uninteresting fact of the day. But if yours looks anything like mine, then put her on a plane and I'll meet her at Heathrow.

Send her to the board here, so we can get to work harassing her........
AsMoral Wrote:The Suzanne in my HR office is quite pretty. I will send her to the UK Dave, but if Susan is there it is probably not a good idea, seeing as how Susan is a black belt and all.Susan isn't here yet...
