FURTHER DETAILS TO BE ANNOUNCED
 

IN THE WORDS OF EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS...

" I find that a considerable part of my work in writing fiction has nothing whatsoever to do with fiction. It is based upon the belief that highly imaginative fiction, such as I write, demands the retention of a youthful and elastic mind, to achieve which one of my principal aims in life is to keep my body physically fit and my mind responsive to a diversity of simple stimuli. "
