Are you a big music fan? I enjoyed all the references to bands and artists in your book.
Matthew FitzSimmons
I am. When I was in high school, I thought for a while that I wanted to be a music critic/historian. Freshman year, I remember studying the Vietnam War and coincidentally listening to 60s acid rock for the first time - a light bulb just kind of went off in my 13 year old brain that music and culture and history were all intertwined (obvious I know but at the time it was huge for me). After that music has always been a way for me to understand what's happening in the world; it hasn't failed me yet.
Thanks for reading!

"Short Drop" is one of the best books I have read in a long time. Thanks for the effort and hard work. I saw that you are planning to release a new book in October 2016. Can't wait. I know publishers want to give you a firm deadline, but since this is apparently only your second book, how do you get comfortable with having to complete a book on someone else's timeline?

First, awesome book! I found your book thru the Kindle First program and I'm glad I did. The plot had me hooked from the start. The thing I like the most is that Gibson Vaughn is an average, flawed guy and not some big, bad never makes mistakes hero. So, where did you get the idea for his character? And, how hard is it to stay in character if he differs from you?
