I know! I'd love to have him describe my town.

Oh hai!
And thank you very much, I appreciate that. Hopefully that means you'll like my book too, and give a copy of it to every single person you've ever met. Assuming I can get these edits done and get the thing to an agent in something resembling a timely fashion.
I've given myself a deadline of April 15. If it's not in someone's inbox by then, I've given my wife permission to spoil the endings of good books while I'm in the middle of reading them. (My reading list has gotten unmanageable in the last six months, because writing)

Quesnel grew up as the sort of young-buck rocker-kid that's so assured of his own natural good looks that he hasn't bothered to cultivate as much personality as a cardboard box. He's still rocking frosted tips, despite the salt and pepper in his hair, and he's got a faded "tribal" tattoo of a dragon on his upper arm. He thinks that the river makes him "deep," but the only thing he's really got going for him is his wicked-cool back yard. People still come to his fire pit parties (on those few occasions when there isn't a fire warning in effect), but he's always the first one drunk off of cheap beer and while his friends party on without him, he's falling asleep on his own couch.
How's that?

Hi Kris! Both of your novels sound really awesome! Though I'm kind of in love with the idea of Extreme Libraries.

Oh me too. There will be an Extreme Library book. It will happen. The one that I wrote was awful, but I will absolutely write one that isn't toilet paper. Won't be my next book, but it will happen.
The next book is either going to be about
Or

Well, once you get all of your books published for millions of dollars, we can all start a wicked-awesome writer's crew in Paris or something. I've never actually been there either, but the wife likes it. She's from the island, the Comox/Courtney area, but we want Thor to grow up in cities when possible. I really liked Nanaimo, but she can't stand the place. I guess Victoria is kind of a midway point between Nanaimo and Vancouver. Edmonton... Well, to steal a description from my book, I like to personify cities. Vancouver is like a too-cool-for-you hipster chick. She's got a wicked sense of style and some dark secrets in her past. She'd be willing to stab you in the back to get what she wants, but everyone likes her anyway because she's so pretty and sophisticated. Edmonton is like an overbearing friend. He's big and sort of intimidating at first, but as he gets to know you, he takes. care. of. you. He's the sort of guy you meet on the street in passing and he's like "You got everything you need? You're set up? You look like you could use a job and a place to stay, and I've got some hook-ups. We'll arrange something." And he's a little annoying about it, he gets up in your biz and you just sort of want him to leave you alone. He's too nice to tell him to fuck off entirely, but you don't want to stick around any longer than you need to for the sake of politeness. And he's ugly, which doesn't help. His skyline looks like a row of broken giant's teeth. The developers weren't really sure where to put any given building, so skyscrapers sometimes pop up out of nowhere, lonely on the horizon. Oh! You must do the East Coast!
