Oddly enough, snails work well for both.

I would add that I do get semi-trolled online, and my book has not received favorable reviews from pro-Putin outlets. But then again I got a great blurb from the creator of Archer -- so it's all good!

The French kind or the ribbbbbit kind?

No. Russian military intelligence is a professional organization. They follow the unwritten rules -- plus they would have nothing to gain by harming me. I'm more worried about sharks and bears (not the Russian kind).

I am first generation American, my dad is Pakistani and my mom is French. To me that trait is something that I fiercely believes makes me a loyal American. However, that was a trait that the Russians believed made me a disloyal American and a strong candidate to be a spy. This still troubles me to this day.
