@kevin-eleven saidThere's a surprise.
Sorry for any disappointment, but I won't be running this contest.
Please don't send any entries to me.
@kevin-eleven saidMaybe dating myself a bit here, but Mart Stewart's 3 book set on the Arthur legend 1. The Chystal Cave 2. The Hollow Hills 3. The Last Enchantment is still tops for me. Told from the perspective of Merlin, it starts with the enchanters' days as a young boy discovering his own powers of prophecy, his scholarship in mathematics and engineering, relationship to Uther to the Birth of Arthur, his rise to the throne, and the many wars fought against the Saxons along the way. Stewarts exhaustive research on this topic lends it some serious credibility. This set will take you back to a very different world. 🙂
I had in mind something that Pearl S. Buck wrote, something like "A time of lively conversation is a great time to write novels."
Plus, no need to like me (or your conception of me) -- it has emerged that according to one of Putin's closest advisers I might be a gay gene-modded military combat mosquito. 😉
@mchill saidStop waffling man!

Dang, this was going to be my entry. Some may be amazed at my inside information and others may see it as an allegory. Translated where necessary from Chinese and Korean.
US State Dept: Xi, tell Kim to get back in his box. We are fed up with his shenanigans.
Xi Jinping: Nothing to do with me. Kim's a loose cannon.
US State Dept: Stop yanking our chain Xi. This is a final warning.
Xi Jinping: Psst Kim. We just sent you another shipment of coal and oil. Looks like it might be a chilly winter.
Oh, and there are a couple of missile techs. flying out as well. They will just tweak the software so they don't explode at inappropriate moments and make us look like chumps.
Kim: Thanks boss, anything else.
Xi Jinping: No just carry on as you were.
