  • Bill Cameron

    Rob, I don't care what they say about you, man. You're all right.

    Mar 10, 2007

  • Sean Chercover

    And your book rocks. And I'm not just saying that. So there.

  • Paul Guyot

    All right, I was saving this for a more public forum, but I'll say it there, too. I think I already told you most of this.

    My wife read your book first, and dug it. And she doesn't like much. Including me.

    Honestly, initially, I had held off reading it because I wasn't into the whole "other world" vibe I'd heard was in it.

    Then I read it.

    And not only is the writing top notch, but the story rocks. Beginning to end.

    Well done.

    Oh, this is Rob's page?

    I thought it was Tasha's...never mind.

    Hi, Rob! Thank you for being a friend. (Mary Louisa, here--reverting to my "professional" name.) I can't wait to read your book. I've heard such great things about it. Hope the ride has been a good one so far.

    Mar 13, 2007

  • Robert Gregory Browne

    Hey, Mary Louisa -- good to see you here!

  • Angie

    Nice to see another familiar(ish) face! Okay, I admit that basically I'm running around saying hello to everyone, 'cause that's what polite folks do, right? I'm working on that polite thing...

    Haven't gotten to KHG, but it's on my TBR list. Hearing lots of good stuff, though - and not just from your paid readers!

  • Paul Guyot

    Is this more apropos of my personality?

    Mar 14, 2007

  • Brett Battles

    There's a whole lot of sucking up going on here...

    Mar 14, 2007

  • Robert Gregory Browne

    Uh, what's yer point?

    Mar 14, 2007

  • Bill Cameron

    I read a book once. Well, I didn't quite finish it. I got distracted looking at Elisha Cuthbert.

    Mar 14, 2007

  • Robert Gregory Browne

    Perv.

  • Angie

    Brett's just jealous. Bill's a perv. This is gonna be a fun place to hang out...

    Hi, Rob. Enjoyed seeing you and many of the other Killer Year kids at LCC.

    Mar 17, 2007

  • Kathryn Lilley

    Hi Robert, thanks for the invite! Glad to meet you!

  • Sean Chercover

    Hey Robert Gregory Browne,

    Is the "Gregory" really necessary?

    Mar 19, 2007

  • Robert Gregory Browne

    I was about to ask you the same thing about Chercover. I think you should go the Madonna route. Just use Sean as your byline. Big City, Bad Blood by Sean.

    I like that.

  • Laura Benedict

    Hey, Robert. I really liked your response on the ITW post--you guys have done a heck of a job with Killer Year. I think some folks are suffering from a lack of imagination when it comes to getting their books off the ground. ITW does seem a little opaque at times--it's hard to identify where the dues-paying needs to take place. Just a little exploration, I think, and some imagination and flexibilty. But isn't that true of everything? L.

    "Hammy Hamster, Hammy-Hammy-Hamster!"

    I have no idea what I'm saying. And you can't hear the music that goes with those lyrics. Why do I even try?

    And why do you keep crossing your arms at me? Don't you know that it makes me nervous? What are you trying to say? Do you disapprove of me?

    UNCROSS YOUR ARMS, DAMNIT!!!

    Mar 20, 2007

  • Robert Gregory Browne

    Laura, thanks. As I said in my post, ITW is going through some growing pains, but it's a wonderful organization.

    Sean, my arms are stuck, got it? Stuck. Now get lost.

    Mar 20, 2007

  • Robert Gregory Browne

    It's both. Definitely both.

  • Carol Davis Luce

    Hi Robert, thanks for befriending me here on this great crime site. I, too, thought about creating a crime space such as this one, but Daniel beat me to it. -- Yeah, right.

  • Elizabeth Dearborn

    Hey Rob, thanks for friending me, and congratulations on your books!

    "It all started when the pregnant girl went crazy." Great first line, Robert. Your book is now on my "gotta get" list. Thanks for inviting me to be a friend.

  • Lourdes Fernandez

    Thanks for the invite, Robert. I look forward to reading your book soon. By the way, will be in your former neck of the woods soon -- going to Maui and the Big Island next month. Can't wait!

    Mar 25, 2007

  • Robert Gregory Browne

    Thanks all, for accepting my invite and for stopping by the humble abode. Glad you like that first line, Jeff -- and have a blast in Hawaii, Lourdes.

  • Julie Campbell

    Thanks for the friending. And ignore Sean -- it's a very manly man kinda pose.

    Mar 26, 2007

  • Robert Gregory Browne

    LOL. That's me, all right. Mr. Manly Man.

    Mar 26, 2007

  • Nancy Martin

    Mr. Browne, how did I miss your book release? I am going to Barnes & Noble immediately.

    The keys to the kingdom can only be forged by the user, and must be handmade, LOL.

    Happy crimespacing!

    Hi Robert,

    Thanks for the invitation. I agree with you there's no one approach to the craft, but I like hearing how others do it.
