Read the harrowing report of your Atlanta World Con experience on Facebook. Was it Atlanta where you all got stuck in a room and couldn't get out!? . Must have been really bad.
And yes, your fans are indeed the envy of everyone. As I always say they are so smart. There always seems to be some fans that can solve any problem. But then you work extremely hard to keep up extremely interesting communication with your fans. I'm not in touch with very many other authors. Those I investigate have web sites without too much info on them. Nothing about the process of writing and publishing books. Nothing of almost daily of interest. One publishes a blog from time to time on particular subjects but none like yousse guys picture of your daily lives which I just love: trip to the mechanic, out to lunch what you had for lunch, shopping, but mainly the daily lives of your cats which is just terrific. Cats helping with the work. Hoping Socks still maintaining by the way. Photos: cats, beautiful Maine beaches, portraits of various towns in Maine some with photos, snowfall, etc. All this takes a lot of work. I really appreciate it. All with great descriptions of everything. Plus very interesting Facebook postings on lots of topics with lots of helpful links.
As I've commented before: my favorite author's web site for unintended comedy is George RR Martin's. He's selling a lot of stuff there: swords anyone? One blog posting really criticized his fans for wanting him to finish his 6th book already. He was really mad about that! .He says he's got other projects he has to do and the fans shouldn't get all over him for anything.....still laughing....My daughter told me she's afraid he might actually pass away before he finishes the book. To her he seems very old, you see. Funny!
