I believe this one was taken from The Sands of Time. My previous book, Angels at Midnight, was ripped off two Sheldon titles: The Other Side of Midnight and Rage of Angels.<br /><br />Doing booksignings and media interviews were frustration. They'd ask what the title meant and I'd have to say, "I have no idea."Normahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12685538277690762655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7630295318214379308.post-67225945602219685762011-11-29T11:38:37.711-05:002011-11-29T11:38:37.711-05:00Great review!

He'd been doing deep stuff with the OSS. My friend was born 10 months after his return. However, the years took a toll on her parents; both died from alcohol-related diseases.<br /><br />I, too, like Norma's title much, much better. Can't understand why 'Legends' got selected, unless it's a too-young generation not understanding the era.Kittie Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07756250649095903317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7630295318214379308.post-39707057946027608162011-11-28T21:47:57.293-05:002011-11-28T21:47:57.293-05:00@Norma...
