"as a fan of elegant science fiction writing, what are some of your brother's titles?"
@Lynn: My twin brother had one story published in an online magazine ("O Holy Night" was the title of his story). Other than that, he's going through the grind of submitting to literary magazines. I give him a lot of credit. He's going the traditional route, and with a genre like that one, it's so hard to break through. I took the non-traditional approach. It worked for me, but it's not something he's interested in. Likewise, I don't think I could do what he does.
@LuAnn: I'm so sorry for your loss, and your daughter's. There's a part of me that would love to have that extrasensory connection. I did have an experience where he was performing (he used to be in a band), and before he came on stage, you'd think I was the one going out there, I was so nervous! But the moment he came out, I was fine. Later he told me he was really nervous -- until he got on stage!
@Cecilia: Thank you so much! I wish I could respond to each one of you, and I wish you could all win! Junior's cheesecake is out of this world!
@Brenda: We're night and day too! We have some things in common, though.
Thanks everyone for all your comments and your interest -- this was terrific! Best of luck to all of you!
@Sharla: Twins run in my family -- as far as I know, my brother and I were the first, but I also have two sets of identical cousins (boys and girls, respectively). We're all about 10 years apart.
@Leni: That's an excellent question, one I've never been asked before. A long time ago we had brainstormed an idea in which he and I write separate pieces on common themes and then present it as one body of work. However, our styles are so completely different that I have no idea how we could market it. I think it would really confuse readers.
@G.S.: Thank you!
@Patsy: I've heard of twins not getting along, but it's strange to me. Not that my brother and I have never fought (I've had some nasty ones w/ him, and again, different from fights w/ my other sibs), but even though we live in different states and don't talk every day, the thought of dislike is just... ((shudders))
