He said he liked the writing

Brian Leung: So I didn’t even have the chance to tell you about this one fan.

Me: Tell me. [we both laugh]

Brian Leung: Well, he wrote to tell me how much he loved my book. And then he mentioned that he also had read your novel, because your blurb for me was so interesting.

Me: That never happens.

Brian Leung: He said he liked the writing but that it was a lot creepier than my book.

Both: [laughter]

Brian Leung: I haven’t written him back yet.
