Hey Everybody

It's taken me longer than I would like to admit to figure out how to sign onto this blog, but I wanted to tell you all how impressed and gratified I am by your discussion and questions about Edgar Mint. I don't think I can answer all the questions about Edgar Mint, but I will say this--just because I wrote the book doesn't mean I have all the answers. My intentions in writing the book are much less important than your reactions--how you absorb the book and its characters and meanings. In so doing, you make the book your own and the author becomes more or less irrelevant, which is how it should be. It sounds like you're finished discussing the book, but in the next couple of days I'll try to answer some of the more prevelant questions that have been raised.
