<p class=MsoNormal>Hi Everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>A decade in the making! Now I finally understand why it took
Joseph Heller ten years to write <i>Catch 22</i>…<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have finally completed, and I mean <u>finally completed</u>,
my “great Canadian novel”. I am now shamelessly promoting it to get
an idea how many copies to have printed for the first edition. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Please let me know if you’re interested in purchasing
a copy of the book and/or attending a book launch party. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Spread the word!<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Here’s the blurb:<o:p></o:p></p>

between </span>environmentalists and a handful of corporate demagogues have
become impossible to resolve, driving both camps underground. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:110%'> But The Vital Few, awaiting
salvation in their secret fortress, have seriously underestimated the power
and resilience of HUGS. The Gaia-loving Humane Urbane Guerilla Society are
definitely not just another “pissant little activist group”. <o:p></o:p></p>

the outcome.<o:p></o:p></p>

the “gods” are secretly at work, 2080 follows the lives of several
“mere mortals” as they become enmeshed in the unfolding drama.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
