I was there with one of the Celtic bands performing but I'm an avid reader so after a show, I can't wait to get to the dealer's room.<BR/><BR/>Frankly, I came up to his table in the first place *because* he was standing up and engaging people eye-to-eye. The ones who are sitting down and obviously bored, I really don't want to deal with. I LIKE talking with people about books; hell, I might learn something! <BR/><BR/>I'll admit that I truly hadn't intended to buy a book from him but I ended up bying two (read; Tyree talked me into buying) and was somewhat surprised that I had done so. One of them was, "Dog at the Foot of the Bed" and I have just now finished it.<BR/><BR/>Wow. Very wow. It was hard to comprehend at the start, getting the characters sorted out but I'm stubborn. I actually stopped and re-read the first four chapters as I'm guilty of skimming; this one, I couldn't. I had to pay attention to every detail. <BR/><BR/>I've finished it now and intend to take it on my trip this week to read again; I want to engage those characters again and then I have to go and find "Nyx."<BR/><BR/>Tyree, you've got a new and genuine fan here.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for "making" me buy your book. I have a couple dear friends who could use a good publisher like you.<BR/><BR/>Susi Matthews Cannon<BR/>www.queens-gambit.comRowan Golightlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02923662932766496214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20983136.post-91103671416311747992007-05-16T04:23:00.000-07:002007-05-16T04:23:00.000-07:00Marva, you can't post anonymously and still give y...Marva, you can't post anonymously and still give your name, so I guess you flunked the test. <BR/><BR/>I've seen Tyree in action and he's doing one heck of a lot for small press writers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20983136.post-75720519087068432452007-05-15T19:52:00.000-07:002007-05-15T19:52:00.000-07:00Hey!
