Bill Harry Encylopedia

[JoJo]

You can read the whole thing here at this Russian site, but there's a trick to it.. (unless you can read Russian maybe)

The "A" entries are: www.wingspan.ru/bookseng/encyclopedia/a.html

The "B" entries are: www.wingspan.ru/bookseng/encyclopedia/b.html

Get the idea?

Thanks Jo.
Interesting the Jane A. stuff -
Talking about Paul and then about taking trips with him and then seamlessly mentioning trips with Bill all in the same vein.
Just smooth as silk.

I like this:
"The world's most prolific science-fiction author, with over two hundred books to his credit. In one of them, the second volume of his autobiography, he describes how he met Paul McCartney in December 1974. Paul had been toying with an idea of a science-fiction film using Wings and had worked out a rough outline about a terrestrial pop group being replaced by alien imposters. He asked Asimov if he would write a story that would be suitable for a screenplay based on the idea. Asimov obliged and Paul paid him. However, Paul wasn't too happy with the rough draft and decided not to use it. He then asked Asimov if he could develop the idea from a piece of dialogue that he'd written himself, but the author declined. "

Not exactly unfamiliar territory for him - some of this.
Nothing like drawing from experience as the seed for a project.
