А couple of updates to share
Friends,
I have a couple of updates to share,
First of all, congratulations to the winners of The Krasinski Collapse giveaway. I genuinely hope you’ll find a moment in your busy lives to read the book. Believe me, for an author it means a lot to know that the story has actually reached a real reader, not just a number on a dashboard. I’ll be very grateful for any feedback you’re willing to share —and please don’t be too harsh on me!
The second piece of news is more personal. Yesterday my family and I found ourselves just a few meters away from the epicenter of the shooting at Macy’s in Santa Clara. Any writer is always on the lookout for new experiences to turn into stories, but this is one experience I would gladly have skipped.
When you’re hiding your eight-year-old daughter between racks of clothes while a panicked crowd runs past, it is not a scene from a thriller — it’s simply terrifying. I want to say a huge thank-you to the Macy’s staff who helped guide people out and tried to keep everyone as calm as possible in a very chaotic situation.
Take care of your loved ones, and, whenever you can, try to make the world a little kinder. There is already more than enough darkness in it. Let’s do what we can to keep it from collapse.
