Anyone ever have a high mite count and let it go and the hive was ok?
I have two nice healthy hives that have a high mite count and theres bee on the ground around the hive that have signs of DWV and i don't know if i should treat them with APIGARD or see if the the bee's can live with them . I have 17 hives right now and i'm sure some will make through winter. Any comments would be great i'm at across road TREAT OR NOT TO TREAT my hives seem healthy but this is only year 3 for me as a bee keeper and the first year was a floop.
We have a goldenrod flow about to kick in and the one hive with well over 50mites in 24hours has ahoney super one thats 2.3s filled and i don't want to treat with honey on the hive i'm not sure if i want t treat at all but i'd hate to had them die out . What would everyone do if you were me? Thank you.

SANS Workstudy, a day by day breakdown =)
i just wanted to post my breakdown of the SANS workstudy program. My track was for the GSEC but the workload is similar for all classes. the link to apply:
Cost: $700
Duration: 7 days
Hours: 7am-9pm avg
Included: Class, test, online training
5 out of 5 Stars
Another day dawns, and I'm back home with my family after a rigorous week in Vegas for SANS Security Essentials.
I have to say it was one of the most fun infosec experiences I have had.
Beers with Ed Skoudis, riding a segway 15mph down the hallways of the Rio with Mike Poor, and 6 days of sponging up GSEC material with James Tarala. Not to mention a great camaraderie with fellow facilitators Ray and George.
Sunday - Day one was setup. Boxes and boxes of books unpacked, conference material sorted, and attendees registered, etc. Most of the heavy lifting was done this day, as well as scrambling to keep attendees as happy as possible. That's one thing that I didn't expect was the actual level of service SANS offers their students. It's amazing. They really go out of their way to make the high cost of the conference worth it. And it is. This day set the tone for the actual hours of work, 6am-9:30pm on average if you facilitated the SANS@Night lectures which of course I didn't want to miss!
Monday - Day two was the first day of class. Getting students to be where they should be, handouts, basic teachers aide stuff. Day two is where you also see an abnormalities with equipment or courseware, you end up ferrying books and such back and forth/ GSEC day one is Network Fundamentals for Information Security; everything from topology, to switching, routing, VoIP architecture, packet analysis, IPV6, IPSEC, and physical security. Having been in IT but never a high powered consultant, getting James' input in all the areas was an eye opener. Not to mention I sat next to 4 FBI cybercrime investigators and behind two DOD agents, which was cool and intimidating at the same time. Lucky for me they were all really nice individuals.
Tuesday – Day two was the first of the really cool SANS@Night events and the daytime was all about Defense in Depth. Topics included Viruses/Malicious code, Security Policy, Access Control, Incident Handling, Information Warfare, and Web App Security. As mentioned the night event was Rob Lee's talk, "The State of the Hack: The Chinese Threat." This talk was straight scary. Rob went over three cases he had worked on with advanced persistent threats. These were highly capable attackers, well funded, and persistent. Security measures for all these companies were in place, firewalls, IDS, proxies, host auditing, AV, etc. The main tool of choice for the attackers? Spear phising, vulnerable webapps, SQL injection, and browser attacks. Once in they dropped some lightweight but heavy payload malware, creating channels in plain sight but so entrenched in the network they could not be easily removed. An older version of the presentation can be viewed here: http://www.certconf.org/presentations/2008/files/C4.pdf
Wednesday – Day three was more depth in IS technologies, including attack strategies, Firewalls, honeypots, Vuln Scanning, IDS, IPS, and Risk Management. Another SANS@night gem was Kevin Johnson's Wep app pen testing talk. He covered BeEF, Clickjacking, XSS, CSRF, et al. It was an excellent presentation. I wish he had posted it online, because honestly it was Alices' long trip down the rabbit hole. I'd take the blue pill next time if I didn't love this stuff.
Thursday - Day four was secure communications, two modules of crypto, stego, wireless sec, and Opsec. Crypto and linux sec are pretty much my weaknesses right now, so this day really identified the SANS 'drinking from a fire hose' motto for me. The best part of the day? Ed Skoudis' Night presentation, "Secrets of Americas Top Pen Testers". I blogged about it the day it I saw it. If you haven't checked out the slides or seen his other series "Pentesting Perfect Storm" I would highly recommend you check them out. Plus Core came in and opened up the bar! Pizza and beer for all
Friday – Day five was all about Windows sec. More Windows active directory than I ever wanted to know about… well not quite, but close. No one ever told me most application whitelisting server software was just pretty front ends over AD! Should've guessed.
Saturday- Day six was Linux security. At this point my brain was about full. Like a sponge that had absorbed too much, I was struggling to retain it all. Somehow I made it through, with a somewhat more advanced understanding of the wide world of the penguin.
Overall, it was amazing. If you read this far, you get a little treat. If you're in the infosec space, IT space, hell even management space, go be a SANS facilitator. Classes normally are $4000 big ones (pluss $400 for the test and $400 for the online training), as a facilitator you pay $700. You get to meet most of the instructors; you get the online training, and a free GIAC test attempt. I networked with some great people, had some good times, and learned more than I expected.

To inform legislative decisions that would affect the territories and their inhabitants, Congress relied on maps and reports of expeditions, such as those led by explorer John C. Frémont, a member of the Army Corps of Topographical Engineers. The subsequent expansion, however, ignited a passionate debate over the expansion of slavery, pitting the proslavery South against the antislavery North.

Mayor Bach vetoes City Council's changes to 2014 budget
Council has opportunity to override vetoes
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Colorado Springs Mayor Steve Bach announced Wednesday that he vetoes several budget items and certain sections of the 2014 Budget Ordinance that was passed by City Council.
In an 8-1 vote, City Council voted to approve the $394 million budget, making changes to about 1-percent of Bach's original proposal -- about $1.5 million. Mayor Bach vetoed almost all of the changes, including council's vote to increase spending on City Parks watering and alotting less money to the Colorado Springs Police Department, Convention and Visitor Bureau and Regional Business Alliance and eliminating the newly-created Deputy Director of Office of Emergency Management position.
"I am tired of people saying that we are diminishing our support of parks," Bach said. "That is not factually correct.
Bach's proposal includes a $7 million increase for CSPD. He says it's needed to replace old vehicles and ensure faster response times to emergencies.
"I just cannot approve council arbitrarily taking scarce and valuable resources away from the police department," Bach said.
CSPD Deputy Chief Vince Niski said that he was concerned about officers driving vehicles that have been identified as beyond their life expectancy.
Mayor Bach's biggest disapproval was of an ordinance passed by City Council that would limit his powers.
City Council passed an ordinance that would create 12 city budget departments as opposed to the current five. Council wants to ensure that Bach can't move money from one department to another without council's approval. Bach's been criticized in the past for giving generous severance packages to former department heads and handing out large bonuses to members of his staff without council's consent.
"Citizens here voted to change the form of government," Bach said. "Trying to increase the number of departments is simply an attempt to put the mayor in a straight jacket."
Councilwoman Jill Gaebler was one of two council members to attend Bach's media briefing Wednesday morning. She told KRDO NewsChannel 13 that she agreed with some of Mayor Bach's vetoes, including eliminating the new Office of Emergency Management position. She says council will be willing to revisit the items Bach vetoed, but that council is simply trying to gain more transparency over how operations are funded.
"The council is just working within the charter to try to help run the city with a lot of transparency," Gaebler said. "Currently the mayor of Colorado Springs has more power over taxpayer dollars than either the Colorado governor or the president of the United States."
City Council now has the opportunity to override Mayor Bach's vetoes. They will meet to discuss changes next Tuesday.

Antarctica is "ground zero" for global warming, climate scientists say, and New Zealand will be the first to feel the effect of its melting ice.
As the world warms, researchers' eyes are turning to the frozen continent, where trillions of tonnes of water is contained in the ice.
New Zealand scientists say gradual ice melt at Antarctica will transform the world, altering everything from coastlines to the frequency of storms.
Prime Minister John Key will inspect some of the New Zealand-led science projects after arriving in Antarctica early this morning.
He will be briefed on the Antarctic Research Institute's activities before travelling to one of the premiere science spots in the Dry Valleys tomorrow.
Gateway Antarctic director Brian Storey, from the University of Canterbury, said that as one of Antarctica's closest neighbours, New Zealand had a particular interest in the climate-related changes in Antarctica.
"What happens in Antarctica really influences the rest of the world - just simply the amount of water that's locked up in the ice and the 60m or 70m of sea-level change that could resolve from a warming Antarctica.
"Of course, New Zealand is directly in the firing line. This is totally relevant to the Christchurch rebuild and whether we should be rebuilding close to the sea."
Antarctic Research Centre director Tim Naish, based at Victoria University, said it had already been determined that human-influenced climate change would melt Greenland and the West Antarctic ice sheet. It was now up to researchers to work out how many centuries it would take.
A Victoria University-led team of scientists finished drilling through nearly 800m of ice on Roosevelt Island in the Ross Sea before Christmas. The ice core that was created was expected to help produce a highly detailed climate record of the past 40,000 years.
Professor Naish said: "When you drill through these layers of snow, it's like turning the pages of a history book, each layer is going further back in time."
The scientists would extract air bubbles from each layer, which would reveal the temperature and amount of carbon dioxide in the air in each previous year.
"It should give us a really good record of the Ross Sea region coming out of the last ice age.
"That'll be really useful for telling us what we might be in for as the climate continues to warm," Professor Naish said.
A similar study that he led found that when the earth last had similar levels of CO2 to the present day (three million years ago), the air temperature was 2 to 3C warmer.
One of the great unsolved questions in climate change science was how the melting polar ice caps would affect global sea level rise.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has predicted sea levels would climb 1m this century. But that estimate did not take into account polar ice melt.
University of Canterbury scientists were monitoring the rate of sea ice retreat at Antarctica by satellite and by observing the speed that ice was moving in glaciers or streams.
Professor Storey said the group came up against one confounding factor. While ice was melting dramatically at the Arctic, the ice sheets at the East Antarctic were thickening.
"In fact, this past year there was the biggest extent of sea ice ever," he said.
The phenomenon appeared to be the result of the ozone hole over the continent, which had cooled the upper atmosphere by 2 to 6C. Despite this growth in sea ice on the eastern side, the West Antarctic ice sheet was still shrinking.
Kiwi-led climate science projects
Fish: University of Canterbury scientists are investigating how Antarctic fish will fare in warming waters. The fish were removed from their habitat, placed in warmer water and their oxygen intake, heart function and exercise ability measured.
Drilling: A Victoria University-led group of scientists have drilled through 760m of ice and planned to create a climate record of more than 20,000 years by extracting information such as historic carbon dioxide levels from the compacted layers of snow. The study will help researchers understand how greenhouse gas emissions could affect climate in the Ross Sea.
Ice: University of Canterbury researchers are using satellite images and GPS to measure whether East Antarctic ice sheets are melting/growing because of climate change. Glacier movement and surface images had determined the ice was thickening, but this was believed to be caused by cooling as a result of the ozone hole over the continent.

When you think about great Chargers safeties a few names come to mind. First, there's Rodney Harrison. Next, there's...OK, actually only one name comes to mind unless you're old enough to remember some guys from the 60's. The Chargers' draft history with safeties has been largely filled with disappointment, and some could say the selection of Harrison in the 5th round of the 1994 draft and his subsequent success was as much the result of luck as anything else. Considering that the next best safety in Chargers history may be AFLer Kenny Graham, drafted by the Bolts in 1965, the hope this year is that the Chargers can turn the tide on their inability to consistently fill their safety needs through the draft.
With the Chargers needing a starting safety and, considering who's left in the free agent market, with the draft being their best option for finding one, you have to assume AJ Smith & Company will be looking for a safety in the first two or three rounds. Who might the Chargers select? Who should the Chargers select? Read on, then make your pick in the comments section below.
Mark Barron
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 213
Projected Round 1
Strengths: Versatile, strong defending the pass or run; good/physical tackler, good hands, solid in coverage against a variety of offensive players.
Weaknesses: Not many, but there have been murmurs of sloppy play on occasion, and there are some health concerns.
Barron may not be a Pro Bowler, but he projects to be a solid starter for years to come. He is quick enough, physical, and the lack of any real flaws in his game suggests he is more than ready to step into an NFL lineup.
Will he be a Charger? There are two questions when it comes to the Chargers and Barron. First, will he be around at #18 in the first round? Possibly, but if he is available for the Chargers, will the Chargers value a strong upgrade in the secondary over the pass rush help they desperately need from the outside linebacker position?
Harrison Smith
Notre Dame
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 213
Projected Round 1-2
Strengths: Of the top safeties in the 2012 draft, Harrison Smith has earned the label as the "smart" safety, the type of player who would seem to gravitate toward AJ Smith. Harrison Smith was a four-year starter at Notre Dame who earned a reputation for being involved in every play, never taking a down off.
Weaknesses: Seems to play better in the zone than man-to-man; can improve his technique to be a better all-around defender.
Over the next two weeks, don't be surprised to see Smith work his way into a bottom of the first round projection, although the top of the 2nd seems to be the most likely slot for the consensus second-rated safety in the draft.
Will he be a Charger? While safety is a top need of the Chargers, improving the pass rush may be the most effective way to improve the team defensively. If the Chargers miss or pass on Barron, Smith becomes the obvious target of the Chargers in the 2nd round. Will Smith be available at pick #49? I don't think so, and I bet AJ feels the same way. Expect to hear a lot of rumors following round-one regarding a move up by the Chargers in the 2nd round to try to grab Smith.
Brandon Taylor
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 209
Projected Round 2-4
Strengths: Physical; Taylor can hit hard and is very effective in defending the run. Solid tackler.
Weaknesses: Unproven against the pass, largely because LSU had better players to match up against opponent's top receivers. Asking Taylor to play a lot of man coverage early in his career may not be a wise decision.
While Barron and Smith are the consensus top-two safeties in the draft, ranking Taylor is open to debate. I've placed him third on my list, but many other draft experts aren't as high on him.
Will he be a Charger? If AJ can't make a deal for Harrison Smith, Taylor is not a bad fall-back option. He's less well-rounded then Barron and Smith, but he would be a big improvement over what the Chargers currently have, and could easily project to follow in the footsteps of one Rodney Harrison- a big hitter who let's intimidation make up for a lack of coverage skills. It would not surprise me at all to see the Chargers take him "too early" in the 2nd round if Harrison Smith is off the board.
The Chargers need a safety- who will they pick, and where will they pick him?

These Cortrex® Vegetarian Capsules by Thorne Research offer multi-faceted nutritional support to promote healthy adrenal function' which can support the body's natural response to stress. Cortrex was designed to supply the body with nutrient' botanical and glandular nutrition to help the adrenal system do its job.

And' as you've come to expect from the experts at Thorne Research' Cortrex is made to conform to the utmost quality standards. This supplement is free of preservatives' lubricants' diluents' and lubricants.
What is Cortisol?
Cortisol is a hormone that is naturally produced by the body' in the adrenal glands' to deal with periods of stress. It is essential for regulating blood sugar and maintaining fertility' immune functionality and overall mental and physical stamina. Under normal circumstances' the body's adrenal glands are built to cope with the demands that life puts on us. However' when you're faced with periods of chronic stress' your adrenal glands can become tired from all the extra work. This can eventually lead to problems that can be seen throughout the entire body.
When the body is short on cortisol' you may feel tired or run down on a regular basis. You may also feel muscle weakness and joint pain' or you may experience unexplained weight loss.
How Do Adrenal Glandular Tissue Extracts Help?
Adrenal glandular tissue extracts help by supporting healthy cortisol levels and immune system function. This is because these tissue extracts play an essential role in supporting the adrenal glands.

In this supplement' whole adrenal tissue and adrenal cortex make up part of the formulation that specifically is designed to tonify the adrenal glands.
Supporting Ingredients in Thorne Research's Cortrex
Licorice root (also known as Glycyrrhiza glabra) was included for its modulating effect on cortisol activity. Among all herbal remedies' licorice root is believed to be most effective at modulating cortisol. It has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine because practitioners believe it can enhance the potency of any cortisol that is being produced by the body by inhibiting the breakdown of cortisol in the liver.
Whenever treating a condition in the body whereby a system seems to be malfunctioning' it is important to ensure the body has adequate nutrition to support such functions. This is why Thorne Research includes vitamins in its Cortrex supplement. The specific vitamins that were included were chosen because of their supportive and strengthening roles in optimizing adrenal function.

Cortrex 60 Vegetarian Capsules
When I crashed and was unable to move or function from Chronic Lyme Disease prior to diagnosis I tried Cortex. It was not effective at that point because well nothing was. But as I got the diagnosis and was able to begin fighting my way back it has helped with energy management. I dont know if my adrenals will ever kick in and function on their own. My doc sells this brand which I had already been taking when we started working together. I can tell if I do not take it.
Helps with maintaining a cycle of activity in my day.

All Product Details
The novel opens in the present. At its center: Toby O'Dare — a contract killer of underground fame on assignment to kill once again. A soulless soul, a dead man walking, he lives under a series of aliases — just now: Lucky the Fox — and takes his orders from The Right Man.
Into O'Dare's nightmarish world of lone and lethal missions comes a mysterious stranger, a seraph, who offers him a chance to save rather than destroy lives. O'Dare, who long ago dreamt of being a priest but instead came to embody danger and violence, seizes his chance. Now he is carried back through the ages to thirteenth-century England, to dark realms where accusations of ritual murder have been made against Jews, where children suddenly die or disappear . . . In this primitive setting, O'Dare begins his perilous quest for salvation, a journey of danger and flight, loyalty and betrayal, selflessness and love.
A: I have always been fascinated by the idea of angels—these perfect beings who are God's messengers, sinless, bold, and unfathomable to the human mind. I was deliciously challenged to be biblically correct about them, and theologically correct: to present Malchiah as truly perfect, yet sent to interact with my hero Toby, and commissioned therefore to take a human body and reflect human emotions and respond to Toby's human emotions.
Q: How did imagining a character like Malchiah the angel differ from creating one like the vampire Lestat?
A: Well, again, Malchiah is perfect and sinless. And to make such a character appealing is a challenge; he has to reflect God's love for human beings, God's compassion. He's not sent to judge Toby; he's sent to guide him to salvation, and to enlist Toby in working for the angels on earth. He must feel things; he must have a personality, but with marvelous theological constraints. Doing Lestat was entirely different: Lestat is sinful and ferociously human, a rebel who wants to be good at being bad; a rebel who is seeking redemption but turning away from it all the time. There is a certain joy in writing about Malchiah because he is sent from God. There was never a perfect joy in writing about Lestat: Lestat suffers too much and does too many bad things with relish.
Q: The hero of Angel Time is Toby O'Dare, a boy who had a tough life growing up in New Orleans and who goes on to become a skilled assassin before meeting Malchiah. How does Toby compare to your past protagonists? What is unique about him?
A: Well, Toby is deeply flawed, much like the vampires. He's an assassin, and he has done terrible things, and questionable things. But he turns around in the very first book of the series and sets out to do the bidding of the angels in helping others. I think of all those characters I've created, Toby is most like Michael Curry in The Witching Hour. But Toby has done things Michael would never do. Toby is a deeply flawed human who is offered a chance to be saved; and he takes it. Maybe he's a first among my characters in that he is given an opportunity to redeem himself through the mercy of God, and then to do good to make up for all the evil he had done before. Toby is also a crafty character. He's pragmatic. Having been a clever assassin, he knows how to plot to do good. That was interesting to me, to have him struggling to save people from harm, and having to figure out a somewhat complex way to do it.
Q: People who have read your memoir Called Out of Darkness will recognize some elements of your own life in Toby's story. Did you identify with him as a character?
A: Yes, I did identify with Toby, though my life has been nothing like his. I know what it is like to struggle with an alcoholic parent; I know what it is like to care for younger siblings in an alcoholic household. But of course Toby suffers a family tragedy that I didn't suffer, and he turns to evil in a defiant way, whereas I only turned to writing about evil.
Q: How did you imagine the concept of Angel Time (as opposed to Normal Time)? And what sources did you reference while reading about angels?
A: I came up with the concept of Angel Time through meditating on it; really, figuring that from God's standpoint there is no linear time. I felt certain that the angels would be able to move back and forth in our linear time, and to grasp how some one can be lifted from one century and put down in another to work a solution that then becomes part of the very future from which the original person came. I think meditation led to this definition of Angel Time, more than any actual reading. It seemed logical to me that the angels could do this. I did read theology about angels, of course, including St. Thomas Aquinas and books by Catholic writers who have studied angels and all the biblical references to them. It all starts with the Bible, of course and how angels appear in those pages. But the scholars Pascal Parente and Peter Kreeft help me to cover the sources. I stayed away from other writers' more fanciful conjectures about angels. I wanted the biblical facts, and the way that the theologians interpreted them.
Q: People are clearly fascinated with angels. Why do you think even those people who do not consider themselves religious are so drawn to the idea of angels?
A: People are drawn to angels because there is a deep seated instinctive belief that they do exist, that creatures from Heaven are here on Earth looking out for us and playing a special role in our care. Of course we read of this in the Bible. And it is a very seductive idea. It's sometimes easier to pray to one's guardian angel than to pray to the saints or even to the Lord. It's easy to imagine that our guardian angel is right here with us. In my novel, Toby really does believe this, though after he suffered tragedy, he blamed the angels in charge for not stopping it. And he lived as a cursed human being for ten years.
Q: Angel Time has very rich and distinct settings (Southern California, New Orleans, New York, 13th-century England). Which was the most fun to write about?
A: It was fun to write of all the settings in Angel Time, but I have to confess that two stand out: The Mission Inn in California was wonderful fun to describe, and I visited there more than once while I was writing the first part of the book. The second place that was great fun was thirteenth-century England. I just loved taking my readers into thirteenth-century Norwich during a snow storm. As always in my novels, my focus is what we have in common with the people of former ages, not what makes us different.
Q: As you've mentioned, the second half of Angel Time takes place in England during the 13th century and highlights a time that was particularly difficult and dangerous for the Jewish population, and one that many of your readers probably know little about. What made you choose this time period as the setting for Toby's assignment?
A: What drew me to thirteenth century England was the story of Little Saint William of Norwich, a little boy supposedly martyred by the Jews in the twelfth century who became a cult figure because of his death. I knew instinctively that the Jews did not murder Little Saint William. I understood how this saint was part of the anti-Semitism of the times. And I wanted to write about the community in which Little Saint William had become part of the folklore. I moved ahead in time and wrote about another supposed martyr, and had Toby sent back by the angels to save the Jews from false accusation and persecution. I loved writing this. I was fascinated by the lives of the Jews of England in this period; they were learned and rich, and good people. And they were mightily exploited and abused. How we as Christians could persecute them is a terrible mystery. I wanted to write about it. I took great pains to make my story as accurate as possible. Of course my main characters are fictional but much that I wrote about the times is factually based. I have a very large library of books on the Jews in history, and I am deeply drawn to this subject. I will be writing more about it in future books. To write books that appeal to both Christian and Jews, and general readers, is my goal.
Q: What else inspired you in writing Angel Time?
A: In writing Angel Time, in believing in a fiction that could embrace Christian and Jewish characters, in believing in a story that would appeal to both, I was much inspired by the great novel Ben Hur. I wonder how many people seeing the movie or reading the book today realize how unique Ben Hur is in being "a story of Christ" that is also about a great Jewish family and a great Jewish hero. Lew Wallace accomplished a magnificent thing when he wrote Ben Hur. And few have imitated his efforts. Some biblical epics written since have been deeply marred by anti-Semitism. But I felt if Lew Wallace could do this, write a great book for Christian and Jewish readers, then I wanted to do it. I wanted to craft a Christian fiction that unites Jews and Christians. The Songs of the Seraphim series is my effort in this regard.
Q: Your last two works of fiction were part of your Christ the Lord series in which you depict the life of Jesus Christ. Was it enjoyable to return to a subject where you had the freedom to create the entire story from your imagination again?
A: Writing both novels of Christ the Lord was a joy. But there is no question but that writing the life of Christ is very difficult, and it is a very special kind of effort. I am seeking to be utterly faithful to my belief in Christ, as God and Man, and faithful to the biblical stories of His life on earth. Angel Time was wholly different, and yes, it was fun to let my imagination go: to craft a human hero and an imaginative story where I had full control. Yet there are constraints in both of these series. My faith in God, my belief in the possibility of salvation, these are reflected in both series. But again, yes, it was wonderful fun to be romping through "Angel Time" with Toby, and to invent scenes out of whole cloth in which Malchiah, a powerful (and fictional) Seraph comes into the Mission Inn to help save Toby. I had a ball writing Angel Time. But returning to Christ the Lord is one of my most important goals. I hope that the exercise of my imagination in Angel Time will give me added strength when I return to Christ the Lord. I have what anybody would call a wild imagination and I love letting it have free reign.
Q: Angel Time ends on a cliff-hanger. Can you tell us something about the next book in the series, World Enough and Time?
A: In the next book, Toby continues to discover things about his past that have a powerful influence on him. Throughout the series, his life in present time will be very important. But once again, in the second book he is sent back in time to use his crafty skills to save Jews who are facing persecution, and to come up with a solution to their problems that enables them to go on with their lives. Once again, in the second book, I will be visiting with vivid descriptions an earlier time. Much as I love the history of England, I also love Italy and that is where Toby will be going to do the bidding of the angels. Again, this is so much fun!
