We might actually be able to do something fun with that. I imagine I'll do a few appearances and signings, but few authors get the full-blown book tour treatment these days, and I'm not expecting to be one of them. <BR/><BR/>Mike L., thanks, buddy. <BR/><BR/>Charlie, although (as I replied privately) your gracious note made me misty-eyed, I wouldn't mind if you set the bar just a <I>wee bit</I> lower... But thanks. I know it's from the heart.<BR/><BR/>Namowal, much appreciated. I hope you like it.<BR/><BR/>Sligo Mike, you touched on something Editor Charlie and I have discussed: the idea that these are times that could use a little good-natured (but not simple-minded) optimism. I'd like to think readers might find a small, welcome shot of that in WHTTWOT. That would be nice.Brian Fieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16347700145666751363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1568334561722760329.post-59791772310610614142009-03-15T12:28:00.000-07:002009-03-15T12:28:00.000-07:00it's really a pleasure to know you and know that y...it's really a pleasure to know you and know that you've produced something wonderful during a time when we need as much wonderful as possible.<BR/><BR/>congratulations.sligohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05790839337334176733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1568334561722760329.post-82192680161887085782009-03-14T15:09:00.000-07:002009-03-14T15:09:00.000-07:00I'll be looking for this when it hits bookstores. ...I'll be looking for this when it hits bookstores.

It's rare that someone undertakes a project so ambitious, and exceeds at the bar they set for themselves.<BR/><BR/>Congratulations, Brain, on a rare achievement. You have created a work of genius when most settle for mediocrity.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy the time between now and publication (and think sweet dreams about giant robots). Perhaps... Maybe... Possibly...Editor Charliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16442884965530587101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1568334561722760329.post-5655936963684744882009-03-14T12:42:00.000-07:002009-03-14T12:42:00.000-07:00Love that drawing, Brian.
