This one is five plus plus!!

Two wonderful creative forces coming together.<br /><br />As a side note, I loved Odd Thomas, I think for me it's probably my favourite book by Koontz.ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09442575667703890690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1002113089297135210.post-47914898231279591042011-03-09T11:46:15.698-06:002011-03-09T11:46:15.698-06:00Michael, you're the best for being there for m...Michael, you're the best for being there for me with this entire blog tour.<br /><br />This is Michael's home, and I want to be a good guest and not hog up too much space in his cyber front room. But I want to say "Thanks" to all who have written and to answer particular questions that came up :<br /><br />PK - thanks for the kind words but, like Michael said, the autographs are those of Neil Gaiman, Dean Koontz, Laurell K. Hamilton, and Jim Butcher.<br /><br />Alex : I am thinking of perhaps publishing BLOOD WILL TELL (a 18,000 word science fiction novella)as a Kindle single. But that would take Michael's formatting skills, and I'm loathe to ask such a thing of him twice. Good friends treat each other kindly.<br /><br />Michael Offutt : Thanks for the kind words about me. I haven't read Talli's book yet with so many irons in the fire, though I have bought it. Each of us have different taste in what we like -- at least that's what Hannibal Lector has been known to say!<br /><br />Clarissa : Would you believe that I was scrounging around looking at odd stuff I had saved from the fire, and I found the middle section of my Sherlock Holmes novel. It had my ... shudder ... character, Wolf McMourn as the narrator though. I may one day re-write it as a Samuel McCord novel and publish it on Kindle.Roland D.
