If you have a comment or question for me, this is the place to leave it. I’m happy to talk about books or any range of fictional subjects. If you know me from way back and want to get back in touch, I’m happy to hear from you. Basically anyone who’s not a robot, who’s not trying to sell something, please get in touch. Movie rights.
