A great Polish review of the Polish release of Boy’s Life (English translation via Google Translate)
Blogger Midnyte Reader posted the funny “The night I got to ride in a car with Robert McCammon & Sherrilynn Kenyon (or, best night EVER)!” She includes photos of the evening.
Author CW LaSart posted the amusing (and somewhat creepy? ) “WHC 2012 Part 2: Robert McCammon Touched My Arm.”
The Robert McCammon Goodreads group is off to a great start, with over 150 members now. They plan to do a monthly read and discussion of a McCammon novel.
