22. Oh, hey, I have a story for you

You might recall that I absolutely loved The Last Odyssey by James Rollins. He then had a book of his short stories published called Unrestricted Access and I decided I really wanted to get that one. I like to have books of short stories around to read when I have to wait for something, like appointments. So, I was searching the used book places and thought I had found it. For a couple of bucks. Only when it came I was like “WTF?” It IS Unrestricted Access but it’s by someone named James Robbins and it was also published last year. Buyers beware! Isn’t it illegal to publish with someone else’s title in the same year? Well, it should be. I don’t know, it might turn out to be a good book anyway, but I have my doubts. So, I’m still looking for the right book.
