I was at this Victorian Days thingy in the town my school is in. They had a bunch of vendors set up and I came across this little booth that was set up and had some books on it. Naturally I stopped to look and there were these pictures and stuff posted about the book and about the author. It seemed like a real cool book and I picked it up and then this guy came over to me. So I looked up and saw the pictures on the board and realized he was the author. I got excited and started talking to him about the book.
The book sounds awsome from what he was telling me. It's a sci fi book set in the future, but the main character in it is a wizard who practices magic. He also has the power to morph into a different creature. The whole book sounded like something I would have written. It's actually five different chronicles in the same huge book. It's one of the first versions of the book and it hasn't even been thoroughly edited. Eventually the guy is going to separate the five books.
So anyways, I got a nice book to read, got it signed, got a book mark signed, and he gave me his personal email address so that I can send him a review when I'm done with the book.
I can't wait to read it! Oh yeah, it's called the Mythosian Chronicles by Robert Hurd. He was a Star Trek and BIG sci fi fan. Pretty cool guy.

Look, Silver changed her sn! Wow...I read little bitses of this book. He'll never get it published; too much Star Trek fanfiction within the original plot. His writing itself is average.

Hehe, average as compared to what, I dare ask?
NVM that book. Read Silence of the Lambs. GREAT book. Excellent writing. Wonderful metaphors: "FBI-clone style of agent dress." Gotta love the bad guy. As you once said "You don't have to like 'em to love 'em."
Anyway, doesn't matter whether the book is good or not. Everyone should want to support our local fantasy authors...because we all know we would someday love to have our stuff published. Networking, m'dears....networking.
Ugh, the leadership conference has gotten to my brain...NOoooo!!!
And yes...I have changed my name, but I'm not quite sure as to whether you mean the current one (NoxEvolo) or the previous one (NoctuMutare). Yea...I'm having fun with names. NoxEvolo will stick, I know it. I just like that name too much...

Both I suppose. They are interesting...
compared to various things. To other books, to other people. Generally.
Yez...authors should help eachother out.? But often the real world does not work like that...survival of the fittest. I mean I think I would have done the same thing as you if I had been there..if I had at all the money.

According to most large industries the world does work that way...Yes, I had to sit through three hours of that crap. I now know everything there is to know about non survival of the fittest situations...and how to plan the spring Festival.
Let them flourish and they will. You want to spread the world of fantasy and sci-fi, no?
