The hell. Every time I write something on the writing excuses site I find that someone has already been talking about it afterwards. XD I was just saying over there that roleplaying would be an excellent way to train for eliciting emotions while writing.

Kudos from a former coworker. Now I know your secrets to brilliant writing–well, some of your secrets. I wanted to give you the offical review of I am Not a Serial Killer (I got one in London this summer and passed it around the office.) The consensus was “great writing, excellent suspense, talented guy, will go far” although none of us are sci-fi/fantasy aficionados and learned more about embalming than we ever wanted to know. Hope all is well, looking forward to your next book (when is it out in London?).

I knew you were brilliant the first time I met you. I’m pretty sure you thought I was a serial killer, though. Thankfully, I’m just an unabashedly rabid fan.
