Hi Theo,

Thanks for commenting on my page. Just returning the favor.

Izzy sounds like quite the anti-hero!

Hi Theo,
Leonard, Connelly and especially Graham Green are some of my favorite authors. I like the description of Izzy (a psychotic partner yet!) and I enjoy crime thrillers, so I'll have to look for your book when it's released. Welcome to the world of publishing crime novels, which is sometimes a bit bone crushing in itself. Best of luck!

Theo, all the best with your novel! Now the hard part--the promo.

Thanks for the invite and good luck on your book. Sounds pretty interesting!

Hi, Theo, and thanks for the invite. Congrats on Bang Bang, and good luck with it!

Good luck with Bang Bang ... and don't worry about that two-book deal. To my mind, it gives you a degree of security and obliges the publisher to commit to your long-term success. And if the first book is a massive hit, you'll be getting so much in royalties, the (relatively) paltry advance on book two becomes an irrelevance.

That's what I tell myself about my deal, anyway!

Hey! Thanks for wanting to be crimebuddies. You got good taste in writers - reading Sanctuary as we speak. Brooklyn - you don't know an actress named Molly whose last name was or still is Townsend by any chance?

Hi, Theo, thanks for the invite and congrats on the book debut.

Good selection of writers and movies.

Hey, Congrats on the debut!
I spy Dashiell Hammett on your list. I'm reading him for the first time this week in a book club..

Theo, every good wish for BANG, BANG and a successful launch in November,
Cheers,
Brian

Hi Theo. Congrats on your debut novel. May it be a best seller!

Hi Theo! Thanks for the add. Your book sounds right up my alley!

Hi Theo! Nice to meet you! Your book sounds like a great read. I'm looking forward to it.

Good luck on your debut novel. From your list of favorite authors I sense that you like your books a little darker than I usually write, but I'm happy to be your friend anyway.

Sounds like a good book.

Theo-
Thanks for the invite and loving the intro. Congrats on your upcoming debut!

LOL! No, man, Hannibal is definitely named after the General. Not that many African military leaders for a Black guy to be named after, right?
