For me, writing about the things I cannot control helps me process the fear, frustration, and anguish, and therefore, helps keep me sane. (or so I like to think)
Good wishes for your writing endeavors.

Thanks for the kind words on 'Justice For All' Harding. It's available as a pre-order on bookstore.co.uk (and Amazon.co.uk, etc), but it's not released in the UK until August 08. It is however currently out in Australia and New Zealand, and you can order it at via this link:
