I don't think I'll be participating there.

You'd be amazed by how many women have told me to my face and via email that they'll never read my books just because I'm a man.

To be honest with you, I don't need that kind of grief in my life.

Maybe I should drop all my lists online, bury myself back in a hole and just write! I've got a thick skin, but folks should remember that we are people, too.

I'm going to disappear for awhile, lick my wounds, and focus on my writing, where it belongs! Don't know when I'll be back, but thanks all of your support.

Now I'm going to disappear.

Sorry, I didn't read it. I wouldn't have sent you if I have seen (or remembered) those post. I'm terribly, terribly sorry.

Okay, maybe I posted that a little hastily, but it did sting!

I'm going to work and hope to have more news later. I'm not stomping off <G>, just getting some fiction written, but I'll be gone awhile!

Best,

Tim

If I were you, I'd probably respond to someone who said "I won't read your books because you're a man" with "I won't take your money because you're a woman." This is why it's probably a very good thing that I'm not an author, and need not interact with the general public.

No worries, folks.

All is good. Just got two rather nice royalty checks from St. Martin's and Kensington, proving there are LOTS of folks who enjoy what I do!

Best,

Tim
