Duane--

 

Congratulations on your Edgar nomination. And to think I was a one of your first breakout parties.

I have read all three of your books and truly enjoyed every damned one of them. Oddly enough, I "saw" each book in graphic form, especally The Wheelman, which, to me, was in black and white. The other two were "in color" but graphic, nonethe less.

Other than your novels, there has been only one other book that felt like I was watching an animated film as I read it:The Haven by Somebody Diamond....Richard? I don't know.

At any rate, thanks for the books....I love this genre and have been toying with the idea of trying to write a story of my own...a thought I never had, avid reader though I am...until I happened upon the " Hard Crime", "Dark Noir"...or whatever this genre is called.

Oh, Beat the Reaper was excellent!

Now, write something else!

A friend of mine recomended your books & man what a discovery. I read Severance Package,The Blonde, and The Wheelman in about 10 days. Great stuff !! I'm looking for "This Heres a Stickup" as we speak. Best!

Just saying Hi.
Janet Reid has been raving about your novels, so there on my list now.

Thanks for the add =)

Thanks, man. And I'm looking forward to that Moon Knight Annual.

Hey - got here via the links in Sarah's column. Sorry about the surgery. That stuff just all sucks. Read some Willeford (the one place, i think, we come together). Unless laughing will make it hurt more.

Hi Duane - just finished The Wheelman and absolutely loved it! Thanks for a great read. Jools

Great suggestion, Dave. I just read the synopsis and, bam, sold. Ordered a copy.

Hi Duane. Yes talking with you this afternoon was a blast. Thanks again for your time. I forgot to mention another book you might like, Hack/Slash from Devils Due Publishing. It's a horror/humor book for people who like good horror movies and love bad ones. There's currently two trades out.

Hey, James--

I read JINX years ago, and really enjoyed it. (I'm a Bendis fan, too.) If it's a comic, and it has a crime in it, I'll most likely pick it up.

Hi Duane, never got round to thanking you for the ad.
(or is thats just on myspace? i dunno)
I'm told you've been enjoying Ed Brubakers criminal. Did you like Bendis' JINX aswell?

Hi, Duane!

The delay on Severance Package is a bummer, but, hell, the trade paperback route really might be the better way to go. It's worked well for Charlie Huston, and Mr. Gischler seems mighty pleased to be on that road himself now. So... I wait. And grumble. Just a bit.

Duane - I gotta say "The Blonde" has one of the best openings I have read in years. Really enjoyed the Wheelman too. Really dark and twisted.

Hi Duane, great to meet you.

Howdy, Duane

I'm currently reading The Wheelman and holy crap, but this mother *smokes*. Every bit as good as the amazing The Blonde so far.

Hey Duane - Loved The Blonde. Your best one yet, and I'm definitely looking forward to Severance package.
