Default Who wrote Ed Miller\'s book?

That's basically my question. I know DS and MM are featured co-writers, but who was the actual writer, i.e. who of the NPA:s was responible for putting the words on paper?

The reason for me asking this was reading the excerpt. It sort of lacked the ballsy, in-your-face writing style I'm used to from reading Ed's posts here on the forum. It was more in the "neutral" style of HPFAP, I think.

Just curious.

In the text you will encounter ballsy writing and neutral writing. We can't get excited about everything, can we?

You should buy the book. It will be good, I promise.

Now, where's my check, Eddie?

I'll have it for you this weekend. And you can choose between a body check and a cross check.

This is good to hear. In general, Two plus Two books are, well, Too Neutral and Bland. Is there good plot development in the book and does anyone get killed or at least shot at? Any sex scenes?

Ed, David, and Mason did the actual writing, but they got most of their ideas from Rounder.

I've been around here for a while, and have no idea that means, so I imagine many others don't either. Who is Rounder?
