Loved it.  The deer bumping into the tree again and again until it dies was my favorite part.  Beautiful.

You can read the books in any order you like, though ideally you'd start with the first, Rain Fall.  I like 'em all.  They tend to get a bit more political as they go along.

One more thing - I wanted to give your John Rain series a go. Should I read the first one, or is there another one you think is better?

Also, I'm writing for D Magazine while I'm in Dallas; it's the local monthly slick mag. This just hit the newstands, thought you might find it amusing.

Very glad to hear it, and thanks for keeping me posted.  Also count me in for whatever I can do to help market the book.

Howdy again-

Ted seemed to like the chapter I sent him and asked me to call him, at which point we mostly talked about the marketing potential, which tends to be the limiting factor; I'm writing up a two-page proposal for him including a section on how I could ensure that the book is a hit. Thanks again for your help with this, and I'll keep you updated.

Barrett, congrats on getting the rights back.  Yes, I know quite a few publishers and agents and I'd like to do whatever I can to help you get this published pronto.  I'm going to make a few phone calls right now and will let you know what I hear.
