“It's impressive when you're such a mysterious fictional character that even avid enthusiasts are debating your existence within the mythos.”

“Writing a book is an adventure. To begin with it is a toy and an amusement. Then it becomes a mistress, then it becomes a master, then it becomes a tyrant. The last phase is that just as you are about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster and fling him to the public.”
Winston S. Churchill

“Let me not then die ingloriously and without a struggle, but let me first do some great thing that shall be told among men hereafter.”
Homer, The Iliad

Stephen I've recommended your book to 14 people. We shall see. I live in Kentucky so I can't come to your signings. :( But I'll be there in spirit!


message 2: by Ben

Ben Thompson Indeed! Step one: add ninja picture. Step two: give my own book five stars in a blatant act of shameless self-promotion!
