Stunning does not begin to describe the view from the top. Is a traditional white tower on low ground, no...

This was my 4th event in as many weeks; I'm beginning to evolve in my thinking. I used to believe it was all about how many books I sold. (Got a trunkful of them, don't you? I fantasize sometimes.
