In fact, I think the very first time I noticed one of your books, way back in the late '80's, was because of the blurb PA contributed for UNDER THE YOKE. So, blurbs actually work! (Smiles)<br /><br />Someday, I hope someone will try collecting and publishing surviving letters written by Poul AndersonSean M.

Actually, part of the problem is my fault, I'm just not a convention goer. <br /><br />Also, Poul Anderson's hearing loss might have been part of the reason for his shyness. I think he far prefer talking with one, two, or three persons at a time, at most.<br /><br />I'm glad you had a good time with Pou Anderson when you took him to Sean M.

He was very hard to get talking (and admittedly, having a fangirl like me among the event people taking him out to dinner was probably not the best thing for getting him talking). He really loved the Impressionists, though, and the folks had just taken him to the art museum to see a good collection, so we got him talking a bit.<br /><br />Bansheehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12594214770417497135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3861468.post-5297785881232556912010-10-29T20:25:28.964-04:002010-10-29T20:25:28.964-04:00Peshawar Lancers forever!Peshawar Lancers forever!Donald R.
