Last year at Mars Con I sold to a guest a copy of A Climbing Stock, telling him my novel was in the mold of Spaceballs and Princess Bride. He told me those were his two favorite movies and if the book didn’t measure up he’d find me and kick my ass.
I am proud to report that he found me and told me that not only did he love it, but gave it to his mother and then nephew to read. He spent about five minutes going over things he loved.
I think my ass is safe.
Moments like this mean the world to us writers. If there is a work you love share that with your friends and its creators too. Chances are you’ll give that author a cherished gift.
