Ok, apparently Brian's buddies over at his website think I made him sound like a psychotic stalker in my last post. I wasn't trying to make him sound like a nut job, but it's not like I wrote his entries for him. He did use the word "obsession" in the title for God's sake. Not to mention the comment about my underwear in the post about him. (Hmm?)

Anyway, I thought maybe he'd like to know that there was a point in time when I was referred to as a "stalker" several times by a fellow blogger. At the time, I was just trying to score an interview with Mark Maynard of Crimewave USA, and I freaked him out a little bit. I think I came on a little too strong in my e-mail. He wrote this about it:

"I’m about 90% sure that, if I go to meet him, I’m going to get my skull kicked in. I must have written a nasty letter to him years ago or something. How could this guy be serious? Did you see the part where he said that he thought that I was an “untouchable celebrity.” You just know that this guy is laughing his ass off somewhere making this shit up, trying to coax me out of my little shell by stroking my ego. The sad thing is, it’s fucking working. I’m going to walk into my deathtrap whistling, without a care in the world."

That's right. My hero, Mark Maynard, wrote that I was a psychotic killer. It took him a while, but he finally let his guard down and met up with me. And just for the record, I'm writing an article right now for the next issue of his magazine. We're meeting up when I go back to Michigan and I get to hang out with him and his wife and meet his new baby for the first time. His invitation to me.

So you see, Brian - if you wait long enough - they don't suspect a thing.
