fbharjo ...And now his goal, Annabelle was andesite- plagioclase and feldspar . He had played geo chase and felt ready for the spar???
A muddled, middle sentence or two from the hypothetical yet-to-be-written ring of fire second book of the trilogy Andesitic Adventures????? Dec 5, 2010
oroboros "Nathaniel had his reasons for his journey to Rhyolite, the greatest boom town in the west. He hoped to find what the snallygaster had taken from him. Some believed it could snatch away whatever you most valued. It had taken Annabelle, the love of his life. Now he was here in Rhyolite, to make his fortune, reunite with Annabelle--and to find the man he murdered back in Baltimore."
