Hi, I would just like to say thank you so much, you are probably one of the biggest influences on me and my writing. Which is probably ironic because a lot of my favorite books works about young black boys growing up in negro neighborhoods, I'm a white middle kid from Iowa, but the way that Monster and Shooter were written really changed my whole idea of how books could be written. So thank you very much from an aspiring writer.
Also, one thing that will forever stick out in my head is the way that the protagonist in Fallen Angels chose that he didn't want a pistol, because he didn't want to get that close, growing up around hard ass hicks who just wanted to "kill some rag heads" made that part mean even more to me.
