Hi all. Been a while since I've posted.

Anyhow, I'm sorry if this is asked somewhere else but I don't want to run into any spoilers for Bloodlines as I am just starting it.

Is Walter Erskine the homeless guy that passes the "touch" on to Alan in The Touch? I know I've heard the name somewhere (or maybe I'm just going crazy as I become more in touch with the Otherness).

BTW FPW, thanks for depressing me all over again in the first few pages of Bloodline. I was just getting over the loss of Emma. Only the best authors are capable of making their fans care that much for who they are writing about.

Yes, Walter Erskine was the homeless Vet. that passed the Touch on to Allen

Thanks WGB.

As soon as I read his name I was thinking The Touch and grabbed my copy buy didn't spend a long time browsing through it to find his name. Seeing his death in Bloodlines is really bringing the timeline together.
