THE INFINITE WRITER
January 4, 2008
To the editors:
I just wanted to write a quick
note to thank all the folks at THE INFINITE WRITER e-zine (http://mysite.verizon.net/resockeb/e-zine) for selecting my suspense novel, CROSSHAIRS, as THE INFINITE WRITER'S Book of the Year. The competition
was very impressive and I am grateful to the judges for seeing merit in my creation. Writing is fun. That's why
I do it. But it's always nice to be recognized by your peers, too. Thanks to all who had a hand in the final selection.
And a special thanks to Dahris Clair for the incredible amount of work she does to bring THE INFINITE WRITER to so many of
us. The circulation is growing every day and Dahris is the engine behind the success.
