    Hi

    You know, Buzz Aldrin is probably one of the few people in this world who have been real players in a fantasy story. It is a sobering thought that such an experience (which we think nothing of making the norm our fantasy story characters) can provide such important lessons for us all. Fantasy writers might take note that their characters should have real feelings, real emotions, real human relations - sure you can create out of this world situations, but heros need to have hearts and minds with which we can identify.

    I treid to make this so in my new book - Randolph's Challenge, Book One - The Pendulum Swings. There's a lot of Buzz in my book and will be more of him in the next two that make up the trilogy.

    Chris Warren
