Enjoyable, but too short. I’d like to know more about how Randal ticks, e.g., where does he get his ideas for books, what does he read to stir his thought process, to get interested, mad, passionate, and stuff like that. I’m not trying to criticize, Richard. Just my curiosity.

I just wonder if he ever gets writer’s block?

Book ideas, I snatch them from the air, they float all around my head.
I read the tame and the wild, the weird and the normal, the natty and the shabby. I try to ask good questions, as Tony Robbins tells us to do.
But other than that, I’m a pretty simple, uncomplicated, straightfoward sort of guy. At least, I think so. (My wife has been prohibited from chiming in here.)
Mike, do I ever! I think I live more in the writer’s block than on the mountaintop of inspiration!
