Love Stephen King. I'm trying to get as many of his books in hardcover as I can. So far so good. I have 30 of them (not all hardcover unfortunately) but at least I have them. I'm trying to get into reading some John Saul and Dean Koontz too. Seems I'm a loyalist though. Anything King and I'll read it!

    That sounds like a cool idea. It's good to force yourself to write without second guessing anything, and if this gets you to do it, that's fine! :) I'll give it a look when I have a moment to read through some entries...anyway thanks for the good words and you take care too.

    Yep, I am very happy, thanks Jay. :)

    Once you get out of the writing groove, it's hard to start again--but if you just sit down in that chair and force yourself, you'll be amazed at how quickly you'll be back in it.

    With Leisure basically going under, any copies of my work are disappearing fast. Once they're gone, they're gone, so if you see any grab 'em!

    Hi Jay--thanks for the good words! Sparrow seems to be well received, but I have no idea how it's doing. The market for books is still pretty brutal. I'm plugging away at this StarCraft novel I'm writing for Pocket Books, and it's going really well. Action packed and a lot of fun. I think the fans are going to love it.

    The year is moving fast--amazingly so. I'm doing very well, thanks! Hope you are too.

    Hi Jay--yes, things are much better here now. I've been through a rough patch but am back on my feet again and things are looking bright! I hope all is well with you too. Can't believe it's baseball season again already! :)

    Why hello there! I've been extremely absent from the site. I pretty much only pop in to add books to my shelf, whoops. I don't have time for the discussion groups anymore, which is a bummer! I miss them!

    How are you doing?

    Hi Jay--things are much better for me now, yes. I haven't gotten a lot of writing done lately, but that will change during the next couple of months with some deadlines looming. My editor at Leisure is very excited about SPARROW--called it a "modern classic," which of course I loved to hear, and they will be giving it an extra push in the marketplace, so I can't wait to see how things go with it.

    Hope all's well with you! Take care...

    Troubling family developments seem to be going around...thanks for the kind words, and I really do think this one is going to blow people away. Early readers love it, so I'm very pleased that it doesn't seem to be just me thinking it's working. Time will tell! :)

    Hang in there, try to get some of your own stuff done, even if it's just a page or so here and there.

    Hey, that's great! :) Glad to hear it. Things are okay here, very busy and stressful, but my new novel SPARROW ROCK is complete and I'm about to deliver the final draft to Leisure. It's the best thing I've ever done--I'm so excited to get this into people's hands. Early feedback has been amazing, and I think it might be my breakout novel. We'll see--hits shelves May 2010!

    Hi Jay, great to hear from you! Sorry about your wife's ankle, that's terrible. I hope she didn't do it while you were in the Dominican...we haven't gotten away, no, believe it or not--still hoping to soon! I've been writing frantically the past two months, with a novel due to the publisher on June 30. I'm closing in now...haven't written this much this fast in years, and it feels good.

    Take care,
    Nate

    hi there... wow, i just came across your request now... so sorry, i didn't mean to be rude, please don't be offended!
    i rarely go to my "what's new" page... and somehow managed to lose the e-mail notification without reading it...
    i haven't visited the SK group for a long time, because i haven't read a SK book for ages, so unfortunately had nothing to contribute... i do plan to read 'Duma Key' sometime soon in the upcoming weeks... and have just read your review on 'Cell'... hmm... makes me want to read it now, i'm curious about it!
    regarding your question, i feel silly because i can't remember what issue i was going to bring up about the ending... how did you like the book anyway? it is one of my favorites!
    i'll re-read the ending soon to try and jog my memory... and get back to you... it's been a long time!

    Merry Christmas to you, too! We ended up sticking around home, and it was a really nice time. We scaled back, but got more thoughtful things for the kids, and we spent more time opening the gifts and talking about them. It really worked out well.

    Here's to 2009...

    Hello dear. That's a loaded question, haha. Things are actually pretty craptastic. Haven't been on here much. Good to hear from you though. I'm actually in the process of converting my King library into all hardcovers, courtesy of frugalreader.com. It's a process!! :)

    Heh--actually, I haven't written a thing for quite a while now...I decided I needed to focus for a bit on my family and day job, and so I took a bit of a break. It felt pretty good, actually, and now I'm ready to get back to it.

    Hope your holidays are going well!
