    Hi Michelle. Would you be willing to be our author for the month of September for both of your books? K Patrick had to push back a month till October, and I figured we could read both of your books and discuss them. Just let me know. Thanks

    Well, even if you weren't a native New Englander I think based on the books settings alone you'd be considered a local. I assume you have some background in the Western part of the great State of Massachusetts. But if ever up this way Kate's is a cool little place that tends more toward fanatical readers and a place for local writers. I know she drew quite a crowd for Steve Hamilton last year (a favorite writer of mine)..well, he's not local

    so, I wasn't just being a guy. Kate was indeed out of Tunnels and had not yet received (or maybe ordered...she wasn't sure) Boneyard but is getting both for me. I actually found Boneyard at my local B&N but at this point I really want to read Tunnels first so I let her order me both. So, be a little delay in me getting back to you about how I liked them. BTW. I mentioned that the settings of the books were Western MA and or the Berkshires and she asked if you were a local writer to which I shrugged my shoulders lol. She keeps a separate section for local writers and settings

    Thank you so much for joining the special group I've created for my book, The Newton Prophecies! I hope you will come and read about the book and all the fun and intriguing facts, theories, and hypothesis that went into writing it!

    Please come ask questions and tell your friends to come do the same. I am looking forward to answering them. Writing this book was a lot of fun, I enjoyed the research tremendously. I cannot wait to read what you thought of the book. If you haven't read it yet I do have a limited number of ARCs still available at 50% off MSRP. If you live in the United States you'll pay just $7.50 plus $2.00 shipping for a signed trade paperback. The final edition will be available this holiday season (November) in both trade paperback and hardcover.

    Again, I'd like to thank you for joining The Newton Prophecies group... See you soon! =)

    My pleasure...in case I have to...ugh, ask for help (lol) is the 2nd G in your name soft? Does Gagnon sound like canyon or hard G and sounds like it's spelled? If have have to actually ask for help I don't want to make a fool of myself as well ;-)

    They are indeed. I have seen more questions from teens and young adults lately. A lot of the questions have been regarding books that teens have been assigned for summer reading!
    It is hard to check all the shelves before I answer, but sometimes based on the name or avatar, I will check their shelf and answer appropriately to their tastes. Stay well...

    Oh, I understand about time! It's good to know, though, that those books are not reviewed because of time issues, and not because you didn't care for them.

    I pretty much have been reviewing current books I've read, and adding reviews as I get questions from the Commmunity "Should I Read...". What a silly question! I always say yes!

    Best of luck on your new release.

    I love visiting your shelf. Your reviews are wonderfully straight to the point. I've wondered about the books you've read and not reviewed...is this significant in any way? Take care.

    Haha. Yea, ask. Like I said, I'm a guy and should have asked and I was looking for Tunnels and didn't know Boneyard existed at the time so I wasn't looking for that. She's a nice lady. That's great you'll be there in August. I can see he store from my window literally. I'll have to stop by. IF she does have either, drop me a note and I'll get over there and send my Amazon copies back. I much prefer supporting locals

    Kate's Mystery Book Store in Cambridge, MA. She's going through a transition (I think the house/building she's in was sold) and everything isn't exactly alphabetized (which is the way all cool old school bookstores should be). Also, I'm a guy so I probably should have asked...but I'm a guy lol. It really is a neat place that seems to be part of the fading Cambridge bookstore scene. Maybe I'll walk over and ask about Tunnels and get it sooner

    Oh, I just can't believe it! I received some $$ for my birthday and went out and
    bought the latest John Sanford book 'Phantom Prey'. I own all his "Prey" books
    and absolutely love them.
    I have James Rollins on my list, from recommendations, but haven't got to them
    yet. Take care...

    Hi there :-) I have actually been trying to find authors who would be willing to have their book read by members, and then the author can ask them questions and we can ask the author questions. If you can let me know the title of your book/books we can set it up. K Patrick is doing the first half of September, I don't know if the last half would work for you or not. If not, we can make it another month no problem. Thanks so much!!
