(I could make jokes about US being the result of genetic engineering, but that makes some people uncomfortable, so I won't. :-) ) Then there's the main character in Paul's current WIP and that series as a whole: Hrothgar Tebrey may or may not be the product of genetic engineering, but his younger brother Hunter certainly is.

    A tissue. One solitary, ever-so-slightly used tissue. A flimsy and most unlikely scrap to build a story from, surely?
    And yet, memories are stirred, and like a breeze through autumn trees - ideas - like those gorgeous leaves start to fall around me. Think I'll take a moment to swish through them, as though I'm a little kid again.
    There was that time Mum and I went to a morning movie session at her local picture theatre. A sumptuous morning tea, all home-baked by the local Red Cross Ladies auxiliary, or maybe the Country Women's Assoc., preceded the main event, a showing of 'The Horse Whisperer'.
