Wait . . .

I just found this story, and will definitely have to make a point of checking back. The chapters are short but a very nice size to get a few important bits of plot across, and regular, daily updates are a -good- thing.

Being “made” is quite a common phrase in any sort of spy book, from James Bond through Jason Bourne through Maxwell Smart. I haven’t noticed any problems with the vocabulary yet. If you do, post, and helpful readers or authors are sure to speak up :)
