: : Now, as to the Norton Obsession thing, you havn't met Irene, Ed, Maciej, Jerrie, or myself. Example--I once spent two months designing and constructing a Moon-Of-three-Rings mobile hand carved out of mahogany and hung with tiles of glass, each one acid-etched with one of Andre Norton's book titles. Then I drove eighteen hours to give it to her. As she writes new books, I send her new tiles. Be honest- is that mere fandom? Anyway welcome to the family-Paul Goode: Well Paul, I did not have to drive 18 hours to see this magnificent work of art. It is truly beautiful and a labor of love. I know Andre treasures it and is touched by your caring attention to her career and life. Job well done!! ed Thanks for the kind words, Ed. I am extremely proud of this piece and Andre has graciously permitted me to use "Moon Of Three Rings" as a company name for my glass etching. I cited this work as an example to our new friend that there are others out here who share his love for the LADY. However, The thing of which I am proudest of is the Fact that Andre asked me to contribute a story for Catfantastic V. She liked it and I still havn't come down from cloud nineteen(I passed nine a long time ago). So you can find my greatest(so far) acomplishment on the bookstore shelves any day now. The thrill of having a story published in the same book as Andre, Pauline, Rosemary, Mercedes,Rose,Ardath, Gregory and so many others may never wear off. I hope you like "A Cat's Tale". My cat is in exalted company with Noble Warrior, Hermione, S'Kitty and the rest. I hope that he appreciates the honor. Being a cat, he probably won't.--Later, Paul
