Heather asked Brian Michels:

Brian, This is rare for me, what is it about the story that has me stopping and walking away rather than just reading it straight through as i mostly do with something as gripping ?

Brian Michels Hello Heather, how are you holding up?

I'll try my best to answer your question as simple as possible.

Q: What is it about the story that has me stopping and walking away rather than just reading it straight through as i mostly do with something as gripping ?

A: Perhaps you don't find it truly gripping.

I apologize for letting you down with a poor story, Heather. I suppose some books are not for everyone. Without question, The Devil Fears Nigga Jones, I think you'd agree, is out of the ordinary. I also committed to showing the reader the face of evil, and not many can tolerate that.

I hope my answer helped you understand the book better.

Shaun asked Brian Michels:

So very glad to see you wrote another book, Brian. I thoroughly enjoyed "The Last Bar in NYC"; especially the part clinging to a empty beer keg out on the Hudson and getting rescued by the NYC and/or Coast Guard. HEE-LAIR-EE-US! Your book has stayed with me all these years later because of your exceptionally good writing. Someone in Hollywood, please make that book into a movie?!? You rock, mi Amigo!

Hi Brian, what are you working on now? Have you read Ishigura's Klara and the Sun? I'm starting it after seeing him in conversation at NYPL. Hope all is well...Heather

Rosie asked Brian Michels:

Dear Brain I was very impressive with your comment 'I don't think the best way to succeed is to *fight* a power that has a clear advantage. It is better to erode and cripple', from the message you left on 'the fire next time' book review in 2017. I want to discover 'erode and cripple' further, any book recommendations?
