Please don't kill me.<br /><br />Dread P.T,<br />No, not mocking, really. When you read forty reviews of a book it's always interesting when someone has a different spin on something, so I was genuinely intrigued. I'll be equally interested in your opinion on the next project... Elena,
It’s more of a hunch, really.

Mark,
Cheers.

Jake,
Cheers. Please don’t kill me.

Dread P.T,
No, not mocking, really. When you read forty reviews of a book it’s always interesting when someone has a different spin on something, so I was genuinely intrigued. I’ll be equally interested in your opinion on the next project…

Dear Joe,
I emailed you a while back when I was halfway through “The Blade Itself” I am now halfway through “The Last Argument of Kings”

Take this as a threat, direct and not implied, but meant in the nicest way possible. If you ever stop writing I will fucking kill you.

Well done, mate, truly well done!

I've noticed with a lot of Fantasy writers who work several story threads at once (like Jordan and Martin for example), I find myself groaning when I reach the end of a chapter and find that the next chapter is about some character/storyline I don't give a shit about. "Ugg! Daenerys again!!"<br />Not so with your stuff. Whether it's Glokta, Logen, Dogman, West... I love each character's voice and story line.<br />Well done!!

Geordie, Michael,
Awwwwww, thanks fellas.

Elena,
I am the King of Rome, and above spelling.

Your problem with my trilogy but lack of problem with No Country for Old Men only further serves to underline my hypothesis that you are insane.

Sheesh. <br /><br />Comma fascist...I can live with it. You have your style; I have mine. You'd have used a comma there, and that's fine. I'm just going to mock it. Endlessly. :) “Commar fascist?”

No really, I just read the last word and slid it into the book return slot at my local library (interlibrary loan, I was surprised that Aspen, Colorado could steal a book from England so readily). <br /><br />Bravo.<br /><br />Not since finishing King's dark tower series have I felt so sad that I may never meet those literary characters again... especially Logan.

Bravo.

Not since finishing King’s dark tower series have I felt so sad that I may never meet those literary characters again… especially Logan. Makes me want to watch Conan the Destroyer again.

Thanks for writing.
