Ray--I just finished ME--and since I have always fancied myself one whose will is action--I must tell you that you have absolutely, unequivocally and emphatically written your piece de resistance. My big fear about ME was that you weren't going to be able to close the whole thing out in a way that did the rest of the books justice, but holy cow, man! You absolutely did it! As a fantasy fan, I loved it. As a Feist Fan, you blew my mind and expectations. As a reader and lover of your characters and your devices, you brought it home in a way that I thought, even you, might struggle with. In short, if there were a Pug of the literary craft it would be you. I could go on and on at length but let me just say, thank you for sharing your gifts with us. Thanks for making the world a better place by your words. And, whatever the next chapter of life brings for you and yours, I wish you every bit of joy and happiness it is possible to find in this world or any other. Never stop writing. Never stop kicking ass. And, for the love of God, whatever you are going to write next, please write it soon! Thanks again!!!!!
