Book Excerpt for the Day


    “I thought you said it was a comedy.”

    “It is, yes.  Action costume comedy musical.  The idea is, there’s this group of Zulu warriors in the 1830’s who’ve just come back from kicking Boer ass all over the Transvaal, and then they hear about this orphanage that can’t afford presents for the kids at Christmas, so they put on this big show and raise money.  It’s a sure thing.  They’re thinking of calling it Assegais and Dolls.
