A couple of years ago I met a very nice man named James Dashner. He was one of a group of people that I visited with at Conduit in 2006 who inspired me to work toward my own dreams. I think the biggest indicator for the success of a writer is that they know other people who have succeeded. A couple months later I lured James and his family over to my house for dinner so that Kiki could stare in wonder at the author of the Jimmy Fincher Saga. She had him sign books and still has them stashed away in her room where no one else can damage them.
James is a fun guy to be around and is just getting ready to leave his day job for a career as an author. I’m very excited for him. As part of this move he’s begun a blog of his very own, The Dashner Dude. As is true with most new blogs, he feels a little lonely over there and would like some company. You can click the link and meet James for yourself.
This entry was made primarily because James offered free books for blog links. I like free books. But honestly, I like James even more than free books and I’d love to see his career as a writer soar.
Hi Sandra
Thanks for the plug! You probably would’ve gotten a book anyway, but there ya go! Look for it in March.
I returned the favor and blurbed you guys in the comments right after yours. I’ll get my sis to put a link up on the blog.
Thanks again, and keep on writing. Say howdy to Howard.
James
