  Now, fast forward a few months.

  Brandon had been on my mind, and my heart. I had seen him be a wonderful person, and awesome member of the community and of course I knew of his situation.

  Now, I’m not even remotely God, nor do I play Him on television. However, we (Chris Raymond, LE Barbant, and myself) were talking about new members in the Age of Magic, and once again…

  My heart was thinking ‘What about Brandon?’

  I am probably remembering this slightly wrong, but I think when I asked Chris and Lee, Chris was thinking something similar that Brandon would be a good match.

  (Hell, it could have been Chris asking me - I don’t want to take credit if my memory is bad.)

  I read the beginning of his book to confirm his chops and then I asked Justin Sloan for a sanity check since he was closer to Brandon than myself. I reached out on Facebook to setup a time to talk, and then called him on the date and time of the meeting.

  Now, let me set the stage a little bit.

  I’ve got a family and as ALL of you know, if you have kids and a spouse, they don’t give a flying flip what others think about you (you aren’t special, you’re dad) so you tend to stay pretty grounded.

  What I DO know is personally, I felt a little special.

  I’m a top 100 author on Amazon. At times, I trade rank places in the best sellers with household names such as John Grisham, Nora Roberts, JD Robb, JRR Tolkien, Rick Riordan, CS Lewis, Charlaine Harris, AG Riddle, Danielle Steel, and Janet Evonavich.

  But, remember, family.

  So really, I focus on the next book, the next series and go work in restaurants and stuff.

  However, that little pre-teenager is still there, deep in the recesses of my mind.

  I call Brandon, not thinking about much other than I hope he doesn’t shut me down because I struggle with issues regarding rejection. Doesn’t matter what I think, I shy away from situations where I could be rejected if at all possible.

  The phone call goes well, and he was very polite (I’d say too polite - yes I did notice) and we hang up.

  After a time, I get the news through back channels what it meant to him to be asked to join us on the Kurtherian Train…

  And basically I had to take an emotional time out.

  My little pre-teen self came out of hiding and realized it was almost 40 years later, but I had accomplished something in my life that I had matured past, or so I thought.

  I had blessed somebody because of who I had become, and provided him an opportunity to interact with you Kurtherian Fanatics because you allowed me to become a leader. A human gateway to the most amazing life one could ever hope for and that is a writer for the most rabid sci-fi / paranormal / fantasy fans I could ever want to be associated with.

  So, little Michael Todd Anderle just wants to come out for a second and say ‘thank you’.

  These tears running down my face are for you.
