I’d love to find my way to Hawaii!!! I’ve been to Kaui a few times with family, never thought of doing a book event there though. Maybe next time I will…

Ah, if only my favorite authors could find their way to Hawaii… In any case, good luck and have fun, as long as you remember tropical islands aren’t out of the question either.

You’re very welcome, Charles! And thank you for these very kind words. I’ll do my best to get the next book in the series out to you soon. I hope it works for you just as well.

Thanks,

Thanks,Is the simplest way to say it. I have had a this disability for some time. I had no clue that anyone had been so profoundly effected as myself. As you can clearly read I am no wrighter. There is no intent to mispell. It is from as you may have guessed dislexia and a combination of other learning issues/disabilities. Your books have given me a type of OK ness with myself, not a satisfaction but an okness, I work at the VA and found this to be cool also in addition to the chariture Franchesica’s and Nicodemu’s brand of humor fits me like my own skin. Lol. Seems someone else other than myself knows how to find humor in the most confounded/disorenting situations.

Thanks

Wonderful to hear Siimcha! I’d be curious to hear how your thinking has changed. You might be interested in a book called “Proust and the Squid The Story and Science of the Reading Brain” by Maryanne Wolf

Looking forward to surgery and a bit apprehensive! The first week on any new service always is a bit of a blur–kinda like starting at a new school as a kid: you don’t know where to go, who will be your friend, how you will do, etc etc. Obstetrics is a little farther off, but I am very much looking forward to the day when I can say I’ve delivered a baby!

I really like how you incorporate your personal experiences with dyslexia and medicine into your fantasy novels, which is pretty unique for a fantasy author, and I think it would be great if you continued to do so. After reading your books and some of your interviews I’ve actually started reading books specifically about dyslexia, which you’ve gotten me interested in learning more about.

Aequanimitas sounds like one of the most important traits a physician needs to learn to keep his sanity. Your internal medicine rotation sounds like it was a tough, intensive one! Are you looking forward to surgery and OB-GYN? The last one sounds like fun, with bringing babies into the world. Though I know it’ll probably entail much more than just births

Good luck this year in all the decisions you have to make. Wherever you go writing-wise I’ll be sure to follow along!

Wow. It sounds a lot like what police officers go through. You certainly have been through a lot in 2011. I hope you have a happy 2012 and that Portland will be amongst your travels again. We won’t forget you but at the same time we understand your commitments. I for one am certainly proud of all you have accomplished!
