You're welcome, V! Long as I don't get into anything big, I might stick around awhile.

Good to see someone showing some love for both Skipp and Keene. I hung out with both of them at last Bizarrocon. They're great guys who've changed the genre and have a lot of vision for the future.

Reading Keene introduced me to a lot of authors i had never heard of it and his style of writing greatly inspired my own.

Keene is a fantastic author. He would be my #11 for sure.

Will update the entire nomination list in a day or two. Keep posting your top 10s, folks!
