Click on the star for author's notations and comments The Burning Rope

I always wanted a good excuse to use my picture of the burning rope escape on the cover, so I came up with the addition of using the escape in the dream. The dream, of course, describes the way that I felt when I was actually doing the escape. It was a strange sensation. I'm sure that not too many writers would be able to tell you what it was actually like to find yourself in this predicament. Fortunately I survived and lived to share it with you. I performed the escape about nine times. You can visit my escape pages to see the pictures from the escape.

I hope you enjoy the novel. If you find the notes interupt your train of thought, you may want to just skip the footnotes until after you've read the entire book.
