One of the very few professions I would have liked to persue in life would be to (be) a fiction writer. The issue with that is (that) as I get old enough to contemplate having some time for that in the near future; the commercial writing I've had to do for my actual profession is too "realistic" for fiction. I know what I would like to say, but it just won't come off of my fingertips - because they have been trained over time to "know" what is correct, and fiction ain't it.... While fiction stories with Shakespeare as a character have been done, I do believe you have hit upon a new and fresh direction. See -I can "talk" 90 miles a minute, but composing new material escapes me.... Skip Oh yeah…. keep’em coming…..

With such encouragement, I think I will further step out on a limb and do weekly installments of my research on Shakespeare or the tale I am working on. The concept is fairly simple, Shakespeare as a secret agent. Before you laugh to terribly hard, keep in mind that half the people he knew and hung out with were indeed covertly spys or agents of the throne. It is my intent to exaggerate that possibility to the extreme, but there is a reasonable body of evidence that he was closely involved in several fairly interesting events.
