Nate, I very much enjoyed your audiobooks. My wife and I were planning a fun drive to the hills and I was rather disappointed when she pulled out her iPod. However, we were both so engrossed with the story, we found ourselves really connected by it. We just sat, hand-in-hand listening to Ish have his adventures while we drove to our winter get-away. Your story added to the wonderful experience of a great ski trip and vacation from our everyday routine. I’m very much looking forward to Half Share and our next trip together.

Very good question.

Mr. Lowell,
Were Simon, Bayless, and Capt. Rossett lovers? Or did the Captain order them into his cabin for that purpose? I’ve gathered that that’s true, but i can’t help but beg the question.

Thank you,
Michael

Anything useful from the recordings? No. At some point I’ll post the transcript. You’ll be disappointed.

The Simon and Bayless plot is actually in there. You’ll have to listen again.

Hey Nate. I’ve very much enjoyed listening to these stories, and in the last one here I really kinda missed some of the previous characters, but overall it’s been very good. However I do have some questions about some dangling plot threads. Did anything useful come out of Ish’s recordings? What were the Captain and David Burnside talking about when Ish left the inducer on? What was going on with Simon and Bayless in the cabin? I was really interested in all these things, and nothing ever came about from them.

Anyway, thanks!

Nate… I can’t tell you how surprised I was when I listened to Double Share for the first time and there was Bayless skulking out of officer country. I know there are a few of us around, but it was still amusing. I love the books and go back to all 5 of them every couple of months for another round. Thanks for the great entertainment and please keep it coming.

All I Can say is a big THANK YOU and congratulations!! I am a 50+ year aussie (atypical though) and I was greatly impressed and really moved to laughter and tears by your writing. This is some of the most amazing material that I have ever heard.

Congratulations – I think that your work is as good as, if not better than Heinlein at his best! Really inspiring and encouraging for ‘ordinary folk’ to listen to. I have just fininshed listening to all of the “Share” books and will listen to them again/

I have had an amazing roller coaster ride. Laughing at the ‘mateship’ while being genuinely moved at Ishmael’s grief over leaving the Lois. Your writing in the last episode of “Full Share” is some of the most moving and honest writing of emotions that I have heard (I had to keep reminding myself – “It’s just a book!” – but WHAT a book!). I suppose that you have been around a bit, like I have, and that you can fully understand, feel and know what genuine loss is all about. Anyway it shows through here.

Thanks again for your excellent podioboooks – you have also inspired me to take up the challenge of writing.

Even though I’m sure everyone is upset that you won’t be getting to captain’s share and owner’s share for a while…just to hear that they are planned makes me have something to look foward to. I devourered Double Share in a weekend and I’ve listened to the other books 4-5 times each since I downloaded them. They are the only books that have a permanent place on my ipod!
