“Several years ago, Joe, Barry, Brett Battles and I [Robert Gregory Brown] all met at Thrillerfest Arizona, when Brett and I were probably two of the greenest guys in the room. We were both flush, however, with the success of finally being accepted by big-time New York publishers after years of trying to get through the gates. And, for me at least, Joe and Barry were far enough ahead of us that I felt a little intimated by them.
Come to think of it, I still do.

I, on the other hand, have been lagging behind. But when I told Joe that I had finally decided to take the indie plunge, he suggested that I sit down with Brett for a conversation about my current state of mind, which is an equal mix of elation, confusion and abject terror.”
