There's no chance involved. You mail them and he'll sign them! You'll never find another author more accommodating to his fans.

I'm glad someone posted this question. When I'm finished reading through the RJ series I was thinking of asking about a generic PO box I could send the paperbacks to & have them signed.

I can tell you fpw is very gracious in accepting books to autograph. I sent him three and he signed and inscribed them and send them back in a timely fashion. The best thing to do is send him a PM and he'll let you know what his schedule is. Welcome aboard CANDIANRJFAN.

The next official GU (#5) is being planned for London in the late spring or early summer of 2006, I believe. In Nov. of 2005 FPW will be at the WORLD FANTASY CONVENTION (Madison, WI) November 3-6
http://www.worldfantasy.org/2005/ We are planning on doing something on this weekend, but I don't believe anything is official yet. I can't seem to find the thread where this was discussed, but I think FPW said he could take time for dinner with us. (Forgive me if I'm wrong, Paul.

I think the Madison, WI meet-up is mentioned there, if you can click on that thread.
I am thinking of going, too. I'd love to see Marc and Jim again and meet Stacy and Scott H., and maybe even more folks.
There's also a get together tentatively planned for November in California.
We sort of track the whereabouts of The Man and make plans to stalk him at the conventions he attends. Oddly enough, FPW doesn't seem to mind!

Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.

Hi Jimbow,
My spouse & I would enjoy an out-of-town trip to have dinner at a function such as the one you've described. We've travlled mainly throughout the Eastern United States & we have never had a bad experience. Boston, MA is one of our favourite destinations & the Big Dig was quite remarkable.
We will be travelling down to Orlando, FL late in the fall and are planning a trip down to the Keys.

I have a lot on my plate right now, so I haven't been able to organize anything yet, but things should settle down in a month or so and I'll figure some things out, for whoever is interested. I can't wait to meet FPW and some others from the board!
