McLaughlin and McDonald have the sweep it seems.

Fabrice, have you read Todd McAulty before?

Black Gate 12 is free online here http://www.blackgate.com/downloads/black_gate_12.pdf

He's really good.

Super Editor Horton says 'McAulty is Black Gate's great find' or something like that in one of his articles.



No; that name doesn't sound any bells. Will check the Black Gate link.]]> Sun, 21 Dec 2008 14:20:48 GMT http://www.asimovs.com/aspnet_forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=1227 Message from bluetyson
