Might have!
Do you remember when you actually wrote to Straczynski and he actually personally answered you.
He used to hang out at the compuserve forums, when compuserve was not aol.
Similarly, I just found Homer Hickam just this month. He hangs out at the Tom Clancy groups.

Well, so much for that idea.

So how have you been, Homer?
Nyssa, who thinks everyone else in abtc must be at the
beach
It's all good here, Nyssa. Just wrapping up The Far Reaches book
tour, as mentioned. TFR is selling out everywhere so even if we don't
get any interest here, I'm gratified that the novel is being so well
received.
Next up for me is a novel titled Red Helmet which is not a "Josh
Thurlow." It is a romantic (although filled with adventure, of
course) novel set in today's West Virginia coalfields. Go here to see
the two covers which we just had our fans vote on. The one on the
left won: http://www.homerhickam.com/vote.htm
Then, I am going to co-author Anousheh Ansari's memoirs. Anousheh is
the Iranian-American woman who funded Burt Rutan's X-Prize, then paid
the Russians 22 million to fly her up to the Space Station. I don't
usually write anything space-themed any more (I'm so over that) but I
made a special case for Anousheh who is a fascinating, beautiful woman
(seewww.anoushehansari.com ).
I'm headed back to Montana in July to continue my hunt for Cretaceous
dinosaurs. I have credit now for two T.Rexes of the 34 or so ever
found. I enjoy my time out in Hell Creek, which is aptly named.
After that, I'll be in Coalwood, West Virginia, for the annual October
Sky Festival on Oct. 6 which will celebrate my memoir Rocket Boys plus
the 50th anniversary of Sputnik. Go here for more: http://www.homerhickam.com/coalwood/
I'll be scuba diving at my "other" home in St. John, US Virgin Islands
soon. Love that place. Go here and yes, we do rent it:http://www.bookitvi.com/skyridge4.htm
What else, what else... Well, sign up for our newsletters onwww.homerhickam.comor read the others by going here:http://www.homerhickam.com/cgi-bin/included/newsletters.cgi
They will get you completely caught up!
Anyway, it's all good. Thanks for trying to get the group off the
dime. It is summer, after all, and folks are out and about and that's
fine.
Best,
Homer (who is quick to join you with some that fine "Josh Thurlow"
Mount Gay rum)
