Litopia

Wow! Awesome! Did you faint?! Please tell me you gave him a copy before you fainted.

"When the student is ready the teacher will appear"

I almost fainted!! But my book isn't published so i couldn't give him a copy, but I did tell him about it. Which is funny because his books are a HUGE inspiration for my series. I actually use his books in my query as the comparison.

Are you connected with him on twitter. Worth keeping in touch via social media. You never know!

Did you get his email or something to send him a copy?

Yes I'm following him social media, but no I didn't get his email because I won't have a copy for years.

Ask him for his email and talk to him there too, he may be happy to read it before it's done

Well that time has passed now anyway. He was there for a book signing and browsing around the store when I found him. I didn't want to intrude on his personal time. Frankly I was just thrilled he asked me what my book was about!

Oh my gosh, if I saw HP Lovecraft walking around a store...
First I would question the indescribable geometry of it all. Then I would be like, "Howard! That which is not dead!!!"
