My very favorite book aswell would be 'The jigsaw man'. I was reading through chapter 9 in crimson, (I think it was 9) but anyways, I found a spelling error, not sure if you found out it was there or not but it is, ahah. I love reading your books because I live in Dunnville, and it's pretty cool to read a book in a town you live in. Gord, I look very forward to reading all of your novels.<br />-brianna<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679457768571800783.post-59757740956676462552008-12-04T03:11:00.000+00:002008-12-04T03:11:00.000+00:00Hi Graeme,I just finished my new novel, tentativel...Hi Graeme,<BR/><BR/>I just finished my new novel, tentatively called STRANGE MAGIC. It's a tale of a man living a lie in a small town named Billington, PA. He's in hiding from something dark in his past that is about to catch up with him. At one point, he used to be one of the worlds greatest escape artists, but now he's an alcoholic scared of his own shadow, and Billington has just been declard a war zone. <BR/><BR/>I've already sold the limited edition hardcover rights to this and it will probably be out before or around the same time as the Crimson paperback. I'll give you more deails soon, when the publisher announces this title in a few weeks. For now I have to shut my mouth - lol! Leisure Books will release the paperback of this one too, but I'm not sure if it will be late 2009 or early 2010. <BR/><BR/>Bests,<BR/><BR/>GordAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679457768571800783.post-63208057910915421952008-12-03T10:49:00.000+00:002008-12-03T10:49:00.000+00:00Hi Gord,Not a problem at all :o) I enjoyed 'Jigsaw...Hi Gord,<BR/><BR/>Not a problem at all :o) I enjoyed 'Jigsaw Man' and the teaser for 'Crimson' had me eager to read the whole thing.<BR/><BR/>You're right as far as the overlap goes and that must be a really tricky line to walk. There are some things that you cannot help but use but at the same time you want to give the reader something that they haven't read before... If you're writing something from personal experience then I guess it must become even more difficult.<BR/><BR/>'Crimson' was still a fun read though and you really caught me out with one of the characters in prison (I was sure I knew who that was going to be!) What have you got planned next?Graeme Floryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15411505049326440010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679457768571800783.post-15519599720907965672008-12-03T04:15:00.000+00:002008-12-03T04:15:00.000+00:00Hi Graeme,Than you for taking the time to review m...Hi Graeme,<BR/><BR/>Than you for taking the time to review my work again. I appreciate the continued support and enjoyed your review. I agree books like King's IT or Keene's GHOUL can overlap with my subject matter at times, but I think that is inevitable with any book about childhood fears and growing up.<BR/><BR/>For me, I wrote this story because I used to have recurring nightmares as a kid about a monster in my closet with glowing eyes and sharp claws. I suppose he was a classic boogieman type monser but I just always referred to him as The Creature. To this day I have no idea why. I dreamed about him long before good old Freddy came on the scene, but that's neither here nor there. <BR/><BR/>Part of me agrees with you about the creature's background. Maybe it wasn't necessary. I guess I just wanted to know where he came from. The real creature I had the dreams about never told me - lol!<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I'm really happy you liked the book for the most part and appreciate you taking the time to read it.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/><BR/>GordAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
