It's the day before Thanksgiving. The paperback of Turning Angel came out yesterday, and we're waiting on numbers, just like the movie business. Local web designer Sam Jones is redoing my website, and it's shaping up well. There's usually a lot of talent close to where you are, if you look for it. I'm also working on plays for this weekend's flag football tournament, to raise money for my kids' school. Too old for this, but trying to win it anyway. Ex-college football players playing. We'll see.
This is the only time of the year that my mind can be even partly at rest---the brief window between finishing the last book and starting the next in earnest. I already have new book ideas, but this is the time that some of the best ideas just drop out of the sky. My son killed his first deer this past weekend: how Southern can you get? He actually killed two. I'm not a hunter, but I'm surrounded by so many of them that I put some local color about hunting into True Evil.
Anyway... if Turning Angel makes you mad, as it has some people, this is the place to vent. Later.

If you're reading this blog you've probably also read at least one Greg Iles novel and you know his books deal with controversial issues. Subjects like civil rights murders, sexual abuse, and world domination lend themselves to comment from a wide variety of people. We've seen those comments in lots and lots of emails, so we thought, "why not blog?" That way everyone could share their comments, questions, and messages.
Just one thing to keep in mind. Greg wholeheartedly believes in freedom of speech, and actively encourages the exchange of ideas, criticism and contrasting opinions. But if you want to rant simply for the sake of inciting violence, offending someone individually or by class, or just being mean, there are plenty of other places to do that - not here.
Any message that's deemed violent, dangerous, or overly offensive may very well be deleted.
Come back often as Greg will often have something to say about new books, book signings, home life, and jamming with the Rock Bottom Remainders. Have fun! |
