My close* personal** friend*** Patrick Rothfuss reminded me today...ever so slowly...of Dorrie, the Little Witch!
I just had to put her somewhere I wouldn't forget her!
Thanks, buddy old pal Patrick. Are we still on for that...uhm...undefined occasion when we together (except in totally separate locations) will watch the same television program or perhaps instead take note of the local weather? Great. It's a date.
*I believe he lives in a nearby state, such as Wisconsin or Maine.
**As in, "not personal at all."
***Using the definition of "friend" loosely, as in "George Washington and the Red Baron are super good friends, because they both knew where the Atlantic Ocean was."
Via (somewhat indirectly) The Flog of Felicia Day
QUICK TIME SENSITIVE UPDATE - Patrick Rothfuss is having a book signing at an independent bookstore TOMORROW in WISCONSIN. If you are capable of either tomorrow OR Wisconsin, you should consider it. He is a book writer of quality. Expires 5/4/08

XDPaul--
I apologize in advance for crashing and hijacking your thread. I'm not one to do so lightly--this is the only way I've found to contact you. I wanted to thank you for nominating my novel Flashpoint to the 2007 Clive Staple Award for spec-fic. Realisticly, I can't imagine competing for the award against authors who've been signed by major houses, but just to have been nominated made my week!
Again, thanks.
Faith,

Frank,
I'll just pretend that you are spam, and we all get to live.
Your book kicks balaam's ass, so to speak. It warrants a wide readership and serious consideration by the committee. I didn't do you any favors, because I double-nominated some very fierce competition for you - I also threw in for Demon: A Memoir.
In any case, I look forward to your follow-up. When will that be coming?
xdpaul--
I did notice the others who were nominated. I can't believe the authors I'm up against. This really is a dream come true for me. To win is so far out of my box I'd not be able to wrap my mind around the concept!
War of Attrition: Book Two of the Underground is due out for Christmas shopping--that's all I know right now.
If you contact me off frankcreed.com I'll slip you the first 30k words so you can see where things are going.
Glad you enjoyed Flashpoint, and again thank you for the nomination!
Faith,
f
