Whoa, James. You're schmoozin' with quite a crowd these days. :) Have fun!
There are some serious names on this list!! Wow!
Are you still going to want to hang out with little ol' us after you're done with this?
Sounds like a blast! Hope you're swarmed over by adoring fans. I'll spread the word to all the Utahans I know.
Woo Hoo! I got my mail and guess what was in it? Yes! My ARC has finally arrived. Just in time, I was about to start another book. Thanks James!
Oh and there were some cool little booklets with the sample chapters you have mentioned before. I will have fun giving those out to my relatives on Turkey Day.
Cool, I'm glad the ARCs are showing up! Those of you who won a copy keep looking and let me know.
If you like it, please slap a review on Amazon or something.
James, I will try to make it out there! I just got word that my good friend Mark Wright will be doing the recording for the CD version. He's amazingly talented and a really fun, cool guy. I am excited this is all coming together for you!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!!!

Your one stop source for all that is cool, interesting and unique in pop culture and beyond. Film, Animation, Photography, Science, Humor, etc. It's all geek to me.
So very cool! If only I didn't live 2,000 miles away....no ARC yet; I'll let you know.
Whoopee! My ARC came today, along with 15 booklets. Simply amazing!
Well Jamestown, it took me 2 days but I finished the book last night!! Awesome man, just awesome. It was the first time that I've "forgotten" that you were the one writing the book, I was so absorbed. It really is an excellent book and thank you so much for your sweet words at the beginning.
I can't wait to read it again!
Has everyone gotten the ARC that was supposed to? Sorry I've been so quiet; we were out of town for Football, I mean, Thanksgiving weekend.
James,
Karen didn't get hers.
Got mine and enjoying every minute. I wish I had the time to read for hours on end, but alas, these pesky kids think they need to eat! ;)
I'm at the part where Tick meets Rutger--good stuff, Dude! :) Oh, and LOVE the references to "Savage." LOL!!!
Time to read some more...
ME!! *sniffle*
