A short interview with Doctor Hyde: "Where would we be without villains, I ask ye? Who would watch Star Wars without Darth Vader? Paradise Lost wouldn't even exist. Peter Pan would be a big yawn. You need we villains, admit it!"

>Hunchback Assignments Audio Book
>Voila! Random House Audio has posted a sample from The Hunchback Assignments audiobook. It's so interesting to hear someone else read my words. Just click here: http://tinyurl.com/myproq). The book is being read by Jayne Entwistle. I will admit that I'd always pictured the book being read my a distinguished gentleman with an English accent, but Entwistle has won me over. Hearing her read this chapter even taught me how to pronounce some of the fancy words I used in the book. Maybe I can hire her to do my book tours. Hmmm.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to the whole audiobook (not available until September 22nd). I can officially check "have an audiobook of your work done" off of my list of dreams. Next on the list: "have a great big movie done and live in a solar powered mansion."

Odd Victorian Factoid #25
Modern badminton was "discovered" in the 19th century by British officers in India who watched locals play a game called Poona. In England it became known as "Hit and Scream." But in 1873, at the Badminton House in Gloucestershire, the British version of the game was officially launched and henceforth known as badminton.
