A Meet-Up on the Way from One Important Place to Another
While on the way from one place to another, @stad and @neutralobserver happened to be passing through beautiful downtown Troy, Michigan, so we got together for lunch. It’s a nice way to have a meet-up. It’s a chance to just talk and get to know people. I learned several things:
- Stad writes under a pseudonym. It is not a masculine name, which led to my questioning if he were writing romance novels.
- He’s about to start writing romance novels, but no, had not in the past. (I never got around to admitting that I have one of those started, too, because why not?)
- He’s much taller than he looks in his avatar.
- Neutral Observer makes the worlds best burritos. I have Stad’s assurance of this. He even started detailing the process at one point, but I doubt I’ll get them to put the recipe in the You Will Need Group.
- “Cell phone photos are today’s equivalent of relatives carrying around a carousel of slides from the old days.”
- Once you retire, you have no time to fool around anymore, because there is just too much to do with life.
- Neutral Observer has picked up a soft, Southern dialect from living in the South, but no, she’s from out west.
I’m sure the huge, mega-meet-ups are a lot of fun, but I’ll take the opportunity to talk with you one-on-one(ish), if you happen to be in town.

Well, someone got the joke.
I just have to say Arahant has the most wonderful laugh I’ve ever heard! If you’re ever near him you must meet him to just to appreciate him! He has at least 2 books on Kindle that sound fascinating and many more in development. You should really check him out!!!
And those books would be called @arahant?
What Angels These?
Angels Revolting
Wonder if we could get @stad to link his books?
Arahant is tied with @garymcvey as the Ricochet member I most want to meet. I’m sure I’ve invited him to multiple meetups, but no luck yet.
Getting me out of my cave isn’t easy. In this case, I walked to the meet-up.
And Gary is on the west coast; a long way from Knoxville.
The next two are:
Stad’s No Angel
neutral observer Is a Saint
Only by a Ricochet PM to me. I want to keep my pseudonym somewhat intact for privacy concerns (not that I’m ever going to be mobbed by fans) . . .
I knew it. Stad is Tom Clancy.
Can’t be Tom Clancy. I’m thinking Danielle Steele.
I might be dead, but I’m getting better . . .
If only I looked that hot at 70!
I actually look about as hot as bird poop baked onto the roof of my car . . .
Ordered!
Thank you. I hope you enjoy them.
