He's actually pretty danged accessible & approachable, which is how I met him to begin with. Actually, in person, he'd probably go up to you and introduce himself, he's really personable/friendly.
What state are you in, stumpfoot? There's a conference in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, where he is on the board, always out & about visiting, selling books in the main area, and presenting. It's pretty inexpensive, too.
I went to an all-day workshop he gave back in February. Thing is, anything he says can be applied to any genre.
I'll see if I can find my notes from his presentation. I'll get them typed up and send you a copy. (It might be a while, though, with everything else going on here. Company from California will be here Monday.)
