I launched my official fan page on Facebook earlier today--here's the link to it: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/PatrickLeeFiction">Facebook Page</a><br />
<br />
I've been very, very slow at blogging, but I'm really planning to keep the FB page updated often. I'm excited to have the new book coming out early next year, and it'll be cool to have a more active forum in which to let everyone know the latest news as it rolls in.<br />
<br />
And, as promised, here are the first three chapters of Runner:<br />

(The application below is provided by the publisher; if anyone's computer runs into problems with it, please let me know in the comments, and I'll see about posting the three chapters as html text right here on the blog.)

My next book, <i>Runner</i>, the first of a new series, hits the stands in hardcover next February. The series will focus on a man named Sam Dryden. In this first book, Dryden finds himself trying to save the life of a young girl named Rachel, who can't remember her past but who has some very dangerous people after her. She also has an ability that should be impossible, and a secret somewhere in her blocked memory that could change the world.<br />

I'll add more information down the road, as things develop with the new book, which should be coming out in early 2014. It's the first of a series featuring Sam Dryden, a character who'll be sticking around through several books.

I've gotten e-mails from multiple people in the past few days about a guy in Houston passing himself off as me. He apparently goes so far as to tell them the author photo inside the back covers of my books is a picture of a model. Well gee, maybe I should be flattered. I'm not.<br />

I remember reading these lists all the time in the newspapers, back in the mid-90's, around the time I was getting out of high school and considering taking a crack at writing. (I ended up going with screenplays for a long time, first, but obviously I had the book bug in me from the beginning.) Someone in my family must have had a subscription to USA Today, because it was always around, and I checked out the bestseller list every Thursday. Would've been fun to know that seven or eight hundred Thursdays later, I'd be on it. (For the record, neither of these listings will appear in the print versions of their respective papers; NYT prints the top 20, and USA Today prints the top 50, while the papers' websites show the full lists--and I won't be dwelling on this distinction for much longer than it takes to write this sentence.)<br /><br />So many people to thank: Janet Reid, coolest agent in the business, and everyone else at FinePrint. My editor at HarperCollins, Diana Gill, as well as Christine Maddalena, Pamela Spengler-Jaffee, Danielle Bartlett, Michael Brennan, Carl Lennertz, and probably a few hundred others I just haven't gotten to meet yet. And a special thank you to Sarah Durand. I also want to thank Lee Child again (I was lucky enough to be able to thank him in person at Bouchercon) for a cover blurb which is probably having a bigger influence on potential buyers than I can know.<br /><br />Above all, everyone out there who's reading the book.

I was surprised to realize that, and reminded of how untimely his death was. It's hard to think about what else he would've written in these past thirteen years. Or the next thirteen, or more. If you've never read <span style="font-style: italic;">The Demon-Haunted World</span>, I can't recommend it strongly enough. I've read it several times, and it's easily my favorite nonfiction book. And if you've never watched <span style="font-style: italic;">Cosmos</span>, forget this blog post and get thee to Hulu. The whole series is there, and it's amazing how, after three decades, it's hardly dated at all.

It was an amazing time. I finally got to meet my agent, Janet Reid, more than two years after signing with her. I also met several of her clients, who up until then I'd only seen or talked to online: Gary Corby, Dan Krokos, Dana Cameron, Andrew Grant, and Eric Stone. Oh, yeah, and I got to thank Lee Child in person for the blurb that's going on the cover of <span style="font-style: italic;">The Breach</span>.<br /><br />Also got to meet a lot of people from HarperCollins, which was extremely cool. Great to be able to thank <span style="font-style: italic;">them</span> in person for everything they're doing with the book. I know I can't begin to understand the amount of work they're all doing on this, but I'm very, very grateful.<br /><br />Thanks also to Kathryn Kennison and everybody at the Indiana Humanities Council. The panel on Wednesday evening was a great time, and thankfully much less intimidating an environment than I'd imagined. (Speaking in front of groups is something I'm still working on; the two times in my life I've had to make wedding toasts, I haven't gotten much sleep the night before.)<br /><br />The five days at Bouchercon flew. It occurred to me only later that I'd pretty much blocked out the entire world beyond the interior of the Indianapolis Hyatt. I got back to my place on Sunday afternoon, went online, and learned that the world had been transfixed for several days by the exploits of Balloon Boy. Wow. How did I manage to survive five whole days without exposure to the 24-hour news cycle? I must be like one of those monks who can slow down their metabolism by sheer willpower, and live for weeks without food or water.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8286933553101582773.post-2075629203203748722009-10-12T10:23:00.002-04:002009-10-12T10:40:26.463-04:00Technical Difficulties<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">.</span><br />Anyone who happened to visit this site in the past month was probably a bit confused by what they saw. To make a very long story short, this site was under someone else's control for a while. The domain registration lapsed without my knowing (that's part of what makes it a long story), and someone else snagged it out from under me and turned it into an SEO site to advertise writing contests. Just the kind of thing you want happening, when your first book is a couple months from hitting the stands, and your website address is printed on the back cover.<br /><br />Anyway, four very frustrating weeks later it's back in my clutches. I'll say this much: if you have a private domain, make sure your ownership of it is set up to auto-renew at each deadline, or at the very least, make sure you remember what the deadline is. In my case, two things went wrong: I thought I had auto-renew set up (I didn't), and I also changed e-mail addresses in the past year, and forgot to update the e-mail address I had on file with my domain registrar. So when my domain was getting ready to expire, they were sending me notifications, but I wasn't getting any of them. I didn't know anything was wrong until the day I went to my own site and found someone else's page there instead of mine. If you're looking to pioneer whole new ways of combining expletives at high pitch and/or volume, then I heartily recommend going through this experience.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8286933553101582773.post-74285462950191541952009-08-04T14:02:00.003-04:002009-08-04T14:22:19.899-04:00Galleys!!<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">.</span><br />Five of these showed up in the mail (well, UPS) yesterday:<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqE-jWhr1twreb3pLY9vLs85jL02A5IMfvMI9jY-9cUMOLBY94wa__2czrMNVC4N-nwLl__yrBue2Brpm_qJ7QNn-zPekgbpeHSpjqGYnIkOZyDgAKLzA-UvI-qb26eTNAqCYZnemBcE0/s1600-h/Breach+Galley.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqE-jWhr1twreb3pLY9vLs85jL02A5IMfvMI9jY-9cUMOLBY94wa__2czrMNVC4N-nwLl__yrBue2Brpm_qJ7QNn-zPekgbpeHSpjqGYnIkOZyDgAKLzA-UvI-qb26eTNAqCYZnemBcE0/s400/Breach+Galley.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366175312405840882" border="0" /></a><br />Boy... there are some pretty big moments for a writer, getting started, and this is definitely one of them. The first time you can actually pick up a copy of your book and flip through it. It's even got that ink smell that's somehow unique to the publishing industry, and hasn't changed by a molecule in probably a century or more. (I can personally only date it back to the first Dean Koontz and Stephen King paperbacks I read in the eighties.) <br /><br />This feels surreal. And very cool.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8286933553101582773.post-83822146856118840332009-04-10T21:54:00.003-04:002009-04-10T22:01:37.315-04:00Behind the Scenes at a Book Binding Company<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">.</span><br />This is like porn for any writer dreaming of that first hardcover.
