Favorite magazines:
Brent, can I hire you as my editor? Thank you! --
SeanO'Leary
Heh. You're welcome, though I don't know what for. :-) -- BrentNewhall
You fixed all my typos on Watchmen. Because of you I don't look like a sleep-deprived dropout. -- SeanO'Leary
Brent, on TheFantasyBook you sought non sword-and-sorcery fantasy. If you haven't already, take a look at OrsonScottCard's Alvin Maker series, and the works of JohnCrowley.
''Thanks, will do. I'm a big fan of Card's writing, though I've only read a few of his works. -- BrentNewhall
