--this would be a good time to stop.
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.
Whoever this person is, he'd be well-advised to knock it off. If it continues, this will become a matter for law enforcement to deal with.

That's just a little bit funny.
I have a question...
Have you ever been to Yuma, AZ? I think Yuma is a little bigger than you described. I know it's fiction, but for people who were born in Yuma, or lived/drove through several times... And you left out the fact that Mexico was just a mile or two away. Sorry. I love the books! Just got bugged by some of the semantics.
Hi,
I was immediately caught up in the first 60 or so pages of 'Ghost Country'. I really liked the sealed container part, although I have no idea if it was accurate. I am a civil/environmenal engineer, but don't usually work in those units. So, since I didn't feel motivated to look it up, I gave it the benefit ignorance.
Now I am at Chapter Twelve, the exploration of the "newer" 16 story building in the future. Maybe I should just wait for it, but my problem is that new construction is MUCH less resilient than old. Modern engineering is about finding cheaper ways to meet basic safety standards. Even if the safety standards are higher, computer aided design allows engineers to specify lesser materials to meet them. You would see more standing from buildings built in the 1920s than those built in the 2000s.... well unless the modern building was built for a special purpose.
Just thought you should know. If you (or anybody else out there)ever want(s) a free draft read through from an avid reader with a scientific background in the civil/environmental area just let me know. I am unemployed because my positions over the last 20 years largely supported manufacturing. boo hoo.
Hi guys. That's pretty funny about the details--I guess a few things are bound to slip through.
I think being impersonated in Houston is a real sign of being famous. Isn't imitation the highest form of flattery? I personally think money is better, so you should impersonate them, at their bank.
Is he having any luck with it?
No one bothers to impersonate me... Is that good or bad? ;-)
Done with the first 2 Breach-books. The 3rd one is being delivered by Whisper(sync) as we speak...
