  And here's the second one I've been talking about. I hope you enjoy it as
much as the first one. It's a very different kind of story, so let me know
how it compares.


  OK, now that that's out of my way, on to my thanks and all....I owe a great
debt to the following people:
  -Cathy Laughlin, as always, for her support and tolerance that I still
haven't repaid her for my first story by giving her an idea. (I tend to keep
them all for myself....)
  -Stephanie Stone for her constructive criticism that she still finds time
to offer in her busy life.
  -Maria Sloughter, who always goes ahead and cheers on my obsessions.
  -Kristin Mims, who doesn't have a lot of time to read my stories, but does
anyhow.
  -Jennifer Shipley, who, in spite of her insistance upon reading all of my
stories out loud to me in terrible accents of her own creation, still insists
that I am not "torturing" her when I ask her to read a new section I've
written.
  -Dawnmarie Lesaldo, because I actually got a physical reaction out of her
on this one. (that's a tremendous compliment, in case you're wondering)
  -Pat Chachich, who wrote me after each and every one of my other postings
with her support.
  -And to all who sent me comments, good and bad, about my previous story.
Your ideas have brought on a few re-writes, too. ;-)

  And here, of course, is the copywrite stuff. About how I owe the usage to
these 2 wonderful characters to DPB and all that. This I have to write for
the man who didn't even know there were QL novels for a while. 
  And here, ladies and gentlemen, is "The Road Taken." Enjoy!
