Yep. And I am eager to do so...because Mr. Modesitt seems to be the only fiction writer able to keep my attention these days.

Edge please go to the Sherlock thread and give me my point.

Edge that’s right, but in order to give other people a chance to guess we have the following rule.
torybear wrote: Just a thought rule wise that if you have won a sherlock you have to sit the next one out...speaking as a registered eager beaver it only seems fair.
The rule is that if you guess correctly, and then post a quote, you cannot answer the quote posted by the person who guesses your quote until it is "cold" which was defined as five days.
yech that doesn't read very well.
For instance,
Day 1- MK posts a quote
Day 2- Torybear guesses correctly
Day 2- Torybear posts a quote
Day 3- MK cannot answer this quote for five days, Sneaky bunny guesses correctly
Day 3- Sneaky bunny posts a quote
Day 4- MK can guess; if he guesses correctly
Day 4-MK posts a quote
Day 5- Sneaky bunny cannot answer …
Obviously the rules can change but technically that is how they work.
So you got it right Edge , but no Sherlock , but you do get to post the next quote.

Gee, and I thought I was being so restrained, waiting a couple of days before posting the answer....
Well, here ya go then....
Think of a world of witches, of high technology and space travel, of science and superstition. A world on the verge of changing inhabitable planets into green pastures and endless forests, a world so short of energy resources that all fuels are grown or captured from the sun.
The Narration at the beginning of Timediver's Dawn.
"A writer's chosen task is to write well and professionally. If you can't keep doing it, then you're no longer a professional, but a gifted amateur." L. E. Modessit, jr.
I just remember that one because it always seemed like such an unusual beginning for a novel.
Ok...give me a bit to find a suitable quote.
"A writer's chosen task is to write well and professionally. If you can't keep doing it, then you're no longer a professional, but a gifted amateur." L. E. Modessit, jr.
A strange pair, she thinks. The blue Viceroy and the black god. Is the only thing more deadly than a woman scorned a man still in love with the woman who scorned him?
Who thought this in which book?
"A writer's chosen task is to write well and professionally. If you can't keep doing it, then you're no longer a professional, but a gifted amateur." L. E. Modessit, jr.
If it's Timediver's Dawn, that's one of my favorites, too...and if it's the other...ditto.
"A writer's chosen task is to write well and professionally. If you can't keep doing it, then you're no longer a professional, but a gifted amateur." L. E. Modessit, jr.
Yeah...but I need a little more: Which character is thinking this in the novel?
"A writer's chosen task is to write well and professionally. If you can't keep doing it, then you're no longer a professional, but a gifted amateur." L. E. Modessit, jr.
"A writer's chosen task is to write well and professionally. If you can't keep doing it, then you're no longer a professional, but a gifted amateur." L. E. Modessit, jr.
May the wind rise in dusty rooms, rooms for sex and sensuality, and let us not call either a sin, for sinning is a term implying an absolute morality....
, but no Sherlock 
, but you do get to post the next quote.
