Thanks so much, Michael! It shouldn't *too* long of a wait. : )

Looking forward to reading Lush. Any chance there will be an eBook version of it, or is this one of these things where the digital rights are an issue? Best wishes!

There will be an ebook version! But first, I want to give the paperback a chance to breathe.

Awesome! I ordered Lush and preordered California Bear! Looking forward to both. I’ll make sure to order you book with Patterson too!

I just wanted to say thank you. And encourage you to come to St. Louis, Missouri sometime (we do book things here, too.) You can sign my Secret Dead Men. ;-)

I generally don't read short stories, but Damn Near Dead helped me discover some of my favorite authors and The Replacement (from Hardcore Hardboiled) is possibly my favorite short story I've ever read, so I'm really looking forward to Lush.

You just made my day, Justin! And I'd love to return to St. Louis. It's been far too long.

Duane, now that I’ve read about everything you’ve been up to, I need to take a nap.

Duane, great to hear the extended silence has meant you’ve been productive and, I hope, happily so! Congratulations on the great news! I have ordered Lush and will look for Bear’s release. Great to hear from you!

Thank you, Max! Yeah, a lot of the past five years has been a slow build toward projects that are finally (finally) seeing the light of day. And now, I feel more productive than ever.
