Just so everyone knows, this is totally written on the day I put it out -- as Linda says, how can you do that when you don't know where you're going, and you don't give yourself a chance to rewrite.
Well, I'll know where I'm going until I don't, and I WILL be rewriting.
"But you hate it when someone copies something else."
"Yes, but this isn't copying, other than having a fat, out of shape guy become a international jewel thief without his wanting to -- and an occasional reference to big hairy feet and such. I haven't even looked at the Hobbit yet, so the only line I could really mimic was that first famous one."
I'm Duncan McGeary, owner and/or operator for the last 39 years of Pegasus Books in Downtown Bend, Oregon. These days I'm writing books as well as selling them.
I'm the comic book guy. But even more so, I'm a book book guy. Books of all kinds. Big books and little books, children's and adult, fiction and non-fiction, hardback and paperback and trade paperback and graphic novels. Books with more words than pictures and books with more pictures than words. They are all part of the book world to me, and I love being surrounded by them every day.

Anytime I get to read your writing, I'm happy.
