Quite right!  I get confused sometimes.  I have far too many authors 
floating around in my head these days.	Kim Newman is the man I meant, 
the author of "Anno Dracula" and "The Bloody Red Baron" (which would 
make one heck of a scenario for a WWI game...but I digress).  In fact, 
Newman uses one of the characters from his GW days, Genevive, in his 
"Dracula" books.  Anyway, he's a very good writer.
