I guess I’m pretty happy with the good decisions we’ve made and fairly at peace with the foibles along the way.

I'm largely a wallflower and didn't meet you, but your description of working on the historical novels (including the supportive push from your wife to actually write Gabriel's Story, which my own wife laughed out loud at, before, amazingly, not saying "I told you so") helped reinvigorate me. Thanks for sharing so openly.<BR/><BR/>And, no lie, I just got a call from my local bookstore that my copy of Gabriel's Story just arrived!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12158536.post-39080478757490801472008-07-24T11:15:00.000-04:002008-07-24T11:15:00.000-04:00Hi There David,A great con, and meeting you was a ...Hi There David,<BR/><BR/>A great con, and meeting you was a high point. Wish I could have spent more than one day there. Thanks for the kind words, and sound reflections on the trauma of deadlines! Good luck with the sequel to Acacia; you know how eagerly we're waiting for it.<BR/><BR/>Yours from soggy Western Mass,<BR/><BR/>RobertRobert V.S.

I've always thought it would be interesting to check out some Cons, but I'm not so interested in the whole dress up in the space costume thing. Readercon sounds like it's a little more focused than a lot of the others, and I think I'd like that. One of these years...<BR/><BR/>My best, as always,<BR/>Bryan RussellAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12158536.post-62309295993852301312008-07-23T00:17:00.000-04:002008-07-23T00:17:00.000-04:00Oh, David.

Allison has always spoken so highly of you and your work. It's always nice to put a person and their name together. Your advice was extremely helpful as I work with my own fiction, and I am really enjoying <I>Acacia</I>. Looking forward to finishing Book One and getting Book Two (once it's out and about.) Thanks again and take care!Terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00322004907365885920noreply@blogger.com
