Nice looking show in your post. Always jealous of the visual artists.
Cheers, Mark!

It was great seeing you and Amy in Long Beach earlier this month! We talked about your book a little, and you remember that Allan really liked it. Paul also read it, but you will have to ..."
It was nice to see you all as well.
The protagonist in Whisperer... I don't think I intended her to be under the influence during the time period covered in the book. Sleep deprived, certainly, but while I discussed some of her past drug use, that was mostly for the purpose (along with the sleep deprivation) of establishing her as an unreliable narrator.
Welcome to Goodreads!
And good luck with the writing. My best advice is keep at it. It doesn't always make me happy, but I usually feel less crappy if I write than if I don't.
Cheers and I hope you all have a good rest of summer too!
