One Of The Good Guys, or, Don't Be Afraid If You Meet This Dude In A Dark Alley

Here's something to make my day. If you've ever heard one of my interviews or been to a book signing, you've surely heard me remark on the fact that I spend too much time alone in a room with a laptop. It's always a pleasure to hear from real people out there in the world who enjoy the work.

Well, get a load of this lovely maniac! This is Brian C., Super Fan, who first contacted me after Plague Year came into the world. He was waiting outside his local chain last night for today's release of Plague Zone. In a hazmat suit. Because how else will we be safe from the nanopocalypse!?!!?!

That is AWESOME!

(The sign taped to the door doesn't say "Masked Lunatics Not Allowed," btw, it says "We Will Be Closed Thanksgiving Day.")

I'm told that he was neither tased by the police nor dragged away screaming. In fact, the Powell's staff calmly informed him that they would indeed have Zone in stock today and Mr. C went home happy.

Me, too.

Okay, that dude is much more hardcore than me. But I'm not ceding the #1 friendly stalker label. :)

That is still awesome, though, and I'm glad the Powell's people played along with him. :) Powell's is awesome.
 
"Friendly stalker." Of course you realize that means you're now a "frokker." :)
