You and me both.
I've recently finished his book, The Spirit Cord, which I plan on working with. I also like his work in regards to the Faery realm. He seems like he would be a character to meet in person.
I would love to travel to cons, but right now it isn't possible. I can barely make local ones. Buying a house is the highest priority for my husband and I; the American Dream and all that you know.
