So long, and thanks for all the fish!

Well, I've finally republished all the Irregular Scout Team One stories. I started them twelve years ago, and they spun off two other great series, The Line and Semper Die.
When I started, I had no idea what an adventure I would go on. I often felt, like Robert E Howard writing his Conan stories, that I was merely re-telling the things that happened to the people on the Team.
Nick is, of course, my alter ego. What would I do in a situation if I were younger, in better shape and probably just a little smarter? Brit is, well, Brit. I have no idea where she came from, she's not my ideal girlfriend, an alter ego for any woman I've ever known. Maybe she's all the women I've ever know. Ziv, well, every story needs a killer, and thank God he's on our side.
So, where do they go now? Maybe they all live happily ever after ...

... and maybe not.
