Great news that it is that long. Too bad Kare and Lina are too old if they ever get around to filming it, unless they used CGI to make them look younger like Jeff Bridges in Tron Legacy.

I'm also happy that the story has ended up being that long. I'd like to think that our enthusiasm here at "We, The Infected" helped prompt JAL to put more into the tale. But I'm confused; I thought "Let The Old Dreams Die" was long-since written and slated to be published in its 6-10 page form. When did John decide to lengthen it?

Let the old dreams die has been rewritten several times, but once I accepted that it must be a story that stands completely on its own feet, I could write it well. A version where Oskar and Eli are only minor characters. a love story, but with different protagonists.
can not wait to see how this turns out.

I am looking forward to Stefl reading me a bed-time story tonight...can you guess which one?
I'm so jealous of me! :mrgreen:
:think: Or maybe he'll be a blue-meany and make me translate it to myself. :cry:
I'm only here for a couple more days! :shock: It won't be enough time! I'm not that Swedish yet! :lol:

Ha ha, I have kind of had the same thought. So I figure - no TV tonight, just a couple of nice armchairs, a reading light and a beer or two :lol:

Bokus.com claims to execute my order now, but we'll se when the book shows up. They were pretty fast with Lilla Stjärna.
