Hi Don'n'co.. Something WEIRD happened over Christmas, shortly after I got hit by an e-mail bomb (too much pain there still- oww)... I got back all my previous...
Don: Jeez ... Today I drove to Stockton State College (my old alma matta) to use the New York Times microfilm. I was searching for articles to cite in a...
I am probably the worst guy to ask a question like this: How much research needs to be done, when have you gone past the point of sanity? Sometimes, you get...

J, Indeed, doing research on the Net can be rewarding, but it can take you places that sometimes you just suddenly realize where you are and ask, "How the Hell...
One of the nicest parts of heavily researching a story, is that even if the final version bears little of the material, it can lend a versimilitude to, at...
...I always find that too! -searching for pictures on AltaVista, within six pages of JPEGs and GIFs of whatever it was, I ended up getting shots of peoples...
Hey Jim, Since it doesn't always turn out that way, I've been very careful as of late. I keep the research to about a hlaf hour to an hour, and if I don't ...

... I worked with inner-city kids for nearly two years before I started writing the second Black Lightning series. I didn't use much of the specific slang,...
I liked the preview. It wasn't as true to the character as Titanic Tales' story but good nonetheless. Are there any news about the publication or it's...
This past weekend, I finally got time to sit down and read Zorro: the Dailies vol. 1. What a sensational book! Any fan of Don's work really owes it to himself...
Thanks for the enthusiastic words about the book, Jason. They come at a time when the story-teller is struggling with a story, having to put it together...
... Oh, you found that huh? Wasn't that a trip? I was there every day, every morning for every strip for the whole year. This was a long time coming as Don...

Don, You are succeeding in your hope to write stories that will make people know that you put everything you had into them. Whether Zorro, the Panther, Sabre,...
... Hmm, you think so Jason? I see them as having all the personality traits that make them good bedfellows with the leading men in their stories. Women are...

Jason, I look for a scene to come alive, and that happens when the characters speak true to themselves. Getting there is the battle. Hearing the voices. ...
Jeff, Your comments on reading the ZORRO stories in two different formats were interesting, indeed. The writing for the strip was always approached with the...
When writing the strip became a reality, I immediately knew I would not do Lady Rawhide in those stories. Lady Rawhide was much to provocative a character, and...
Hi, Don, Hope you and Marsha are great! We're both fine, although Paul has been working six days a week for months now. If not SNL, then Olympics! Anyway, I...

Jeff, I guess you haven't read DRAGONFLAME or THE VARIABLE SYNDROME, or you wouldn't believe a little eroticism would offend me. In fact, in all the series I...
Dammit. yahoogroups screwed up again. I posted the links, Don, but it never reached the group. I was actually concerned why nobody reacted yet. They've been...

Have you ever read Niven's "Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex"? Reverse the roles, and that's pretty much the sum of it. I included the links in my post to Don,...

Dear Don & Fans, Hurrah! I finally found the entire 2nd set of Nate Dusk 2: Apple Peddlers Die At Noon!!! One of the nice dealers at Megacon 2002 had a set...
Carl, You're certainly one of the good ones! What a kind gesture, telling that woman you would buy Dusk for her. The second NATHANIEL DUSK series: APPLE...
