Day Two in MISS ouri

Day two at the Missouri - or Mizzura if you're from the state - brought an unexpected surprise. Of course, if it was an expected surprise, it wouldn't have been a surprise. Duh.

Anyway, I didn't expect to know anyone at the conference, so it was surprising to hear my name shouted when I was wandering around the hotel lobby. Raymond Benson, who blurbed Fang Face (woo-hoo!) was in town to give a Mystery Writers of America pitch at the conference.

Raymond, who is most famous in my eyes for his incredible ear blasting piano playing and the fact that the Ian Flemming family engaged him to write nine James Bond books,is a really cool guy, and I'm glad he showed up.

I'm meeting a lot of fun people, though a lot of them are still hoping for their first published book. So I'm giving a lot of advice. It seems the biggest advice they need is the need to establish a web presence before getting published. With Twitter, Blogspot, Facebook and Wordpress and other forums available at the cheap price of free, they need to set something up right now.

I think I've convinced a few people.

Time to go, my stomach has given me the early lunch warning signal. More later.

Imagine being bitten by a vampire. Held in a trance, helpless as fangs slide into your neck.

Famous authors blurb my next book

Check out what three BEST SELLING authors have to say about my upcoming book, Fang Face:

"This book sucks ... in a most delightful way! Norm Cowie's latest is boy-meets-girl-meets-vampire-meets-wow. The first ten words made me laugh out loud. The rest kept me awake far into the night, turning pages. The characters are compelling, and the voice, highly original. Don't miss this gem."

- Shane Gericke, National Bestselling thriller author

"Vampires have grown long in the tooth of late ... until I read FANG FACE. Hilarious, lightning-paced, and as sharp about high school as a bite to the throat. I loved this book, fangs and all."

- James Rollins, New York Times bestseller of Jake Ransom and the Skull King's Shadow.

"FANG FACE made me laugh, and I'm not a Teen. Or perhaps I am, but I'm trapped in a grown-up's body. At any rate, Norm Cowie succeeded in putting a smile on my face. Maybe he'll do that for you, too."

-- Raymond Benson, author of James Bond, The Union Trilogy
