There has been some speculation as to the true identity of the reclusive and mysterious John Twelve Hawks, author of the bestseller The Traveler, who supposedly "lives off the grid." The public seems to think it's . . . me. Apparently, earlier this week, Metro, a newspaper in London, UK, published a full-page article including betting odds and photos of myself and other potential "candidates" for this honor. The odds place me in the company of Dan Brown, Kage Baker, and J.K. Rowling. And they are not the only ones. Check out this busy discussion topic over at the Night Shade Books Forum. And then, I am told I am suddenly "famous in the UK" by a friendly reader in my Norilana LiveJournal. I am extremely amused, not to mention amazed, by this whole thing. Is Vera Nazarian really John Twelve Hawks? Well, my friends, the answer is... No, I am not.
