In fact, he has reached out to numerous people in the past, whether through proxy or via email or snail mail or via telephone. I've spoken with him several times. Colleen Lindsay, who handled publicity for <b>The Dark River</b> was often in contact with him. Just want to keep the facts clear, to hopefully fend off any baloney conspiracy theories.

But what do I know? Then, that's the danger of being utterly anonymous: There's always the danger of legions of people claiming to be you with little danger of repercussion.
