I just discovered the buried secrets of Giza...well not really, but something just as wonderful! I picked up 3 Repairman Jacks somewhere a couple of months ago in terrific shape. I didn't open them when I brought them home, because I could have been tempted to read ahead, you know that instant gratification thing rearing its ugly head, so I just stuck them on our to read shelf and moved on. Well this morning on break I open The Haunted Air and what do I find, but a signed copy!!! The Man had signed it for Joe! Now why Joe would let such a treasure go is beyond me, but one man's lost treasure is another woman's gold. ;-) So just call us Joe! lol Thanks for the signed copy FP! 
Keri...er...Joe.
Keri...er...Joe.
with the signature? Just curious, can't see how a book in Annapolis could have made it to Texas, but I am wondering.

Then out spoke brave Horatius, the Captain of the Gate: "To every man upon this earth, death cometh soon or late; And how can man die better than facing fearful odds, For the ashes of his fathers, and the temples of his Gods,"
"Well, John Henry said to the Cap'n, "A man ain't nuthin' but a man. But, before I let that steam drill beat me, gonna die with my hammer in my hand, Lawd, Lawd, gonna die with my hammer in my hand."
Congratulations!
I was just wondering because I attended a book signing at Borders Books in Annapolis, MD some years ago. I had two books and FPW signed both of them, but when I got to the checkout, my Greek wife (who is overly frugal, read cheap), made me put one back, The Haunted Air! I still have the other, The Barrens and Other Stories.

Damn, that would be a helluva coincidence, wouldn't it?!
"I handed in the new RJ novel with the
working title, BY THE SWORD. David says the sales force loved the title at the
pre Turkey-Day sales meeting, so that's what it will be. That means Paul Ramplin
gets a credit line in the acknowledgments."

How much you want for it?
Supposing it was for sale?

Well, he could do worse.
It does sound like the book I had FPW sign. What a coincidence. Enjoy!
