...just to let me know he's reading Wool and loving it, his daughter is reading Wool and loving it, and that I'm a great writer.

I don't know which of you hacked this poor man's account and sent this to me . . . but I appreciate the ever-living hell out of it. For one night, at least, I'll feel like less of a hack.

 

[NoCat]

you are welcome 

 

[D/W]

Wow!

 

[AmberC]

Was it Nicholas Sparks, because I think he may have sent me the same email. 

 

[Hugh Howey]

you are welcome

Okay, this would be so like you.

Congrats on the Geekdad Golden Robot, btw! I was so thrilled for you. I heard from Erik a while back at how awesome your pitch was, and agreed with him that you are the real deal. Hope to see you again in person before too long.

(Drinks are on me in exchange for this email).

Wow, Nicholas Sparks emailed you to say how awesome Wool and Hugh are? That's all kinds of awesome.

 

[Becca Mills]

Big smile.

 

[B.A. Spangler]

Now that is cool!

Of course everyone reading this thread is gonna wanna know who it was… spill a hint or two.

Nicholas Sparks sends me hate mail.

 

[HeidiHall]

Yeah, spill the details, Hugh!!!

 

[H.M. Ward]

very cool.

 

[A. S. Warwick]

Huzzah!

Thats rather awesome.

The best I can manage is joe public sending me hate mail

 

[AndreSanThomas]

I don't know which of you hacked this poor man's account and sent this to me . . .

It'll be our little secret.

 

[dalya]

I BET THERE IS A SECRET CLUB! THEY ARE GOING TO INVITE YOU!!!!!

 

[Bruce Blake]

My Mom doesn't even send me emails like that.

 

[Harriet Schultz]

I once got a tweet from Tom Clancy (a reviewer had described my book as Tom Clancy with sex)...saved, printed and cherished!
Congrats on the praise from the #1 NYT bestseller (E.L. James by any chance?)

 

[D.L. Shutter]

For one night, at least, I'll feel like less of a hack.

Damn! Now we have to shut down the private, members only message board where we all secretly talk about how genuinely awful you really are. And it was my favorite time-suck too.

 

[Pnjw]

I don't suppose it was from your nemesis?? Did he address it, Dear #6?

Very cool.

Ha!

 

[Gennita Low]

Frame it!

Haha. I have to use my l33t hAXz0rz sk1llz somehow, right?

For reals though, congrats. You are living the dream (well, hopefully your dream, anyway).

I think all I had to say to Erik was "Law & Order with sword fights". Actually, come to think of it, that's pretty much all I have to say to anyone and they ask if they can read it. I might be on to something...
