Keep up the good work!
But when you need a break, come hang out at Uppercut Avenue.
Write on!

Good Morning Mr. Camacho,

May I call you Austin?

I have been working away from my computer and out of town. Thank you for your friend request., I am honored. I am also going out to get your book, "BLOOD & BONE". It sounds like a book I will enjoy. That of course, will lead me to your other three.

Hope to have the honor of meeting you in the near future.

Sincerely,

Michael Phelps

Austin,
Forgive me if I remember this incorrectly, but wasn't THE TROUBLESHOOTER originally self-published? There's a current discussion here about the pros and cons of self-publishing you may be uniquely suited to participate in, were you so inclined.

Did you come up with Hannibal's given name before or after Harris's Hannibal Lecter? I ask only that Harris's villain's name casts some rather dark aspersions on any other character attempting to overcome the cannibal's stigma.

Oh, most assuredly a good thing. I guess the stories left her in a very pleasant mood when they were finished.

Is that a good or a bad thing? :-D

Thanks. It was reassuring seeing at least one familiar face besides Geneva's. Otherwise, it would have been weird, Hollyweird or not. Nice reconnect.

I'm happy to discover your work, too. Best wishes for your continued success.

Well, we mustn't confuse activity with progress, L.J., but I do seem to be doing something right and getting readers. As Eeyore would say, "Thanks for noticing." :-)

Hi Austin
You sound incredibly busy...and successful. Congratulations.

Hey Austin! hope your con-hopping is going well. Do tell us about it!!!

Fancy meeting you at AU, at the WIW fiction workshop. Don't be a stranger. Your contributions to the panel discussion were right on-mark.

I live in Maryland, but belong to a Northern Virginia writers group. Would you be interested in stopping by a meeting sometime to share some of your experiences?

Great to meet you too, Austin. Hanibal Jones sounds amazing. Will have to read you soon!

I look forward to seeing you, Allan. Love is Murder is the party that I open my writing year with, and it's always a gathering of friends. See you in a month. :-)

You should be writing not surfing. Get busy or I'll tell Deneise. See you in Chicago, I am flying in from Florida just to get your latest signed

Hi Austin, Best wishes and luck to you for 2008 too!

Hi Austin,
It's nice to see you here :) How are you doing? Having a great week, I hope.

Hey Austin! I have not attended the Cape Fear Festival, but I have heard great things about it! This past year they did things a little different, in that most of their events were free and open to anyone in town that day! LOL..I was going to go, but didn't recognize any of the 'names' in attendance and then the date snuck up on me and passed me by! SO I missed it! Maybe next year! And you know my lasagna is always worth the price of plane fare, right? LOL
