Was fantastic to meet Ray and say thank you in person. I was able to get a few books signed for myself and a copy of ME signed for a friend to give to her dad. Going to make a great fathers day present.
So many people there tonight. Was great to talk to other people who love Rays work.

It was great to hear Ray talk in person. I was very interested to hear Ray's story, where he came from and how he got started in writing. I wanted to hear him speak for longer. I unfortunately got there just before he started speaking so missed out on meeting some of the people from the list. I did meet a fellow in the line that said he was from the list. He was a collector of art and said he had quite a few of the cover artwork. Soon it was my turn. Introduced myself to Ray, told him I was from the list. Introduced my star-struck daughter who has been a fan since she was about eight. She got her photo taken with him. When I went round the second time, I had my photo taken. Ray, Thanks for the great story you have written. It has engaged me for over 20 years and have have enjoyed every moment of story I have read. I have tried to share that joy with others and meet a few fans over the years. I look forward to the next story you share with us. Michael.

Also was great to meet a few of the list lurkers tonight. I think John will have a few pics to load on the Gallery when this tour is through. I am sending mine through tonight, John. And Ray, I know it's been said but you are a very engaging speaker and both crowds tonight seemed to hang on your every word. Even a few of the budding writers in the audience were taking notes! Love the story about the volcano the best - classic!! Lastly, thanks for being patient with me and signing all my books ... well almost all of them. As it turns out I missed K-TotG so will await your return to get it signed. 36 out of the possible 37 I took is a pretty good strike rate. Thanks SOOOOO very much for making my collection so much more enjoyable! Regards, LT On 24/06/2013, at 7:48 AM, "Brett Grecia" <[email protected]> wrote: That's sad news Bryan. Does anybody think the copies of magicians end on sale will be signed?

I have just pulled an all-nighter with 2 sick kids. 3hrs drive to Brisbane and 3 hrs back again with no sleep is just too risky. If anyone on the list would like my spot, go for it. Hopefully next time. Have a great day all Bryan -- Michael “blacker than the blackest black… times infinity!” –Nathan
