I nearly got to see him in Michigan in July while visiting my parents, but it just didn't work out. Someday!! I'm sure I'd be totally tongue-tied.

The things he said about her were so perfect and I love that he loves her so much (and misses her).<br />And Time of the Ghost! I can totally see it. Maybe that needs to be our read-along book for next dwjmarch?Kristen M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02335598194501733541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754919688510890076.post-6069169600192288072013-08-15T14:47:02.976-07:002013-08-15T14:47:02.976-07:00I know.

I thought I would feel rushed and maybe get time to say one sentence but it wasn't like that at all. I hope there are still chances to talk to him again in my future but, if not, I'm happy with what I got!Kristen M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02335598194501733541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754919688510890076.post-71381945271694594312013-08-14T10:19:51.115-07:002013-08-14T10:19:51.115-07:00What a fantastic experience!

I've been meaning to read The Ocean at the End of the Lane, and hearing it compared to Time of the Ghost has now made me just a little bit rabid for it.

I had the pleasure of seeing him on his tour for Anansi Boys and it is something I won't ever forget. Luckily I was one of the first persons to call and order tickets so we were in the very first line to go get signed. After the event I read that he was there for 6 hours signing. Which is why I understand his desire to quit the tours. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing your exciting time with us. Carl V.
