Yes, no escaping politics! Both rural and city scapes have their advantages and disadvantages.

They want control. They want . . .whatever. And they play the game to get it. I like watching, so I guess what I want are ideas for my next book. :-)cleemckenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15456109243453726483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556528429571644528.post-72339970906577029082014-04-18T13:12:19.436-04:002014-04-18T13:12:19.436-04:00With politics being such a hot topic in our societ...With politics being such a hot topic in our society, I wonder how we can neglect its influence in story world.
