The author of MYSTIC RIVER, SHUTTER ISLAND, GONE BABY GONE, and other great novels told The Famous Author yesterday that TFA has "a strong, mordant wit" and "a terrific narrative voice." Of course those two lines bookended some serious criticism of our work in progress, BIG MOJO, but his ideas were cogent and thought-provoking, at least for TFA. I mean, I could care less. I just go where TFA tells me.In other news, it's cold as heck here in Florida. Better than New Jersey, I suppose, but not exactly warm. Brrrr.

Getze: Strong, Mordant Wit
Man, that's headstone material right there...
Sounds good, Chris, although Mr. L says we can't use it on our next bookcover. Drat!
Yeah, TFA - you've definitely got a strong mordant wit and a great kick-ass pace! Glad to be able to read it first - TL, Laramie, Wyoming
Thanks, TL. Hope you like the next one, too.
