Sean, this makes me so very happy! It's wonderful to see you getting the accolades you deserve. Will you soon have an entourage and theme music?
Congratulations!!!!
yes, theme music! We all should have a haunting or stirring or something melody that announces our presence, like the little riff that tells you Mimi is about to come on stage!
Sean, congratulations.
Major props, sir. I had hoped to catch a glimpse of you, maybe touch your garment, at Bouchercon. Fat chance now; I'm not fighting my way through the Gumshoe Groupies, flinging their underwear with hotel keys pinned to them.
All kidding aside, it is well deserved. I read the book, and it's a keeper.
I have a signed first edition. ;)
Congrats, man!!!!
Congratulations!!!
Thanks, guys! Needless to say, I'm giddy about the Gumshoe.
As for theme music, I think I'd like Noel Anthony's version of "Zombie Jamboree" to play whenever I enter a room.
Awesome, Sean! Congrats!
