Note: This story was dynamically reformatted for online reading convenience. Dear Readers, Dear Readers is going to be an ongoing letter to my readers to give them updates on my progress, comments on my stories, and a way to respond to readers who are to shy to use e-mail. I cannot respond to the ASSTR Feedback System, so I'll use this venue to respond to those readers. I love reading my readers' comments and suggestions, and will respond to anyone who takes the time and effort to write to me. My e-mail address is earldevere(at)yahoo(dot)com My main concentration is on my Epic Erotic Historical Novel, ILLUMINAUGHTIES, but I get inspiration for an occasional short story. I am doing my best to avoid multi-chapter short stories. My stories tend to get away from me and I'm trying to limit the number of characters I introduce to two or three, and avoid giving the background I have been giving. I'll save all that for the novel. I want to express my appreciation to my lusty muse, Lauren for the short story, POOL RULES. I also just completed the incomplete chapter four of FIVE LITTLE VOYEURS. I also have stories published on the now defunct Loliwood Studios at /~LS/authors/eee.html Back to work on The Novel. Earl
