...er, or something like that. It's late. I'm tired. BUT, "Escober" did a great job answering my questions for an Omnivoracious feature. Check it out. They deserve your attention. Really intelligent stuff. And don't forget all the cool stuff you can win in the contest the publisher is running...***Amazon.com: What're some of the most unusual reactions you've gotten to the books from fans?Escober: One quite dramatic one that we will never forget was a reader who emailed us to tell us that he recognized his own restlessness and frustration in Sil Maier in Restless, and decided to divorce his wife and change his life completely...Some readers think at least half of what they read happened to us in real life. Even army-people think we served in Bosnia, because from their perspective it is impossible to know how it feels if you’ve never been there (in reality Bosnia is the only place we didn’t visit for Chaos, we did go to Mexico, England, Spain, etc). We think this is the best compliment anybody can give a writer--people think parts of our books are autobiographical. Some fans visit our signings wearing Escober T-shirts, which is also a great honour; in Europe people are not overly star-struck and only behave like this at rock concerts. Not at book signings.
