I thought splitting a million bucks with a questionable ghost writer was

Now much did you get for "When Thunder Rolled"? Had to be what 2-3 million

My royalties, if and when they ever arrive, will pale by comparison.
I'm planning on taking my wife to dinner. Somewhere nice...Carrabas or
Chili's maybe....

When I retired from the Air Force, I decided to write magazine articles
(electronic hobbyist magazines) while I went back to school. After selling my
first two articles for $125 each, I decided I would have to have about about
six articles a week in the queue to make any "real" money. They paid you
after publication, and my second article took 6 months before they accepted
it (I then put a clause in each article that non-acceptance after 8 weeks was
considered a negative, and they quickly rejected them).

Ah well... Maybe if you included a sorcerer and a boy with dark rimmed
glasses...
