A NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR First of all, I would like to thank everyone who gave me feedback. Thank you very much. You know who you are. Because you took the time to tell me your opinion, you can now read the second installment of Marvin and Desdemona's (mis)adventures. If you haven't given feedback, please do so. It is extremely gratifying to authors, and it really *does* encourage them (not only me) to write more, and better stories! Lastly, I hope you enjoy this episode, yes, I am planning more tales of this very odd couple, but I can't tell you when they'll be released. A note to other authors: If you want to write using either of these characters or storyline, I would very much appreciate it if you contacted me beforehand. I've already grown rather fond of both of them, and although I do appreciate your tributes, I would like some input. With that, enjoy "Easy ridin', Hard Drivin'" !!!!
