Robert Oliveri asked Linwood Barclay:

Hi-Have you ever been out in public and noticed someone reading one of your Novels? How do you respond if at all? Say “Hi” or maybe just smile to yourself and let it go? Must be a great feeling if this had ever happened. A “fan” in Gettysburg Bob Oliveri

Linwood Barclay Trying to remember ... a few years ago, saw a woman walking through a department store, carrying one. Said hello, asked if she'd like it signed, and she said yes. Best story is from writer Mark Billingham. Sat down on a train and woman opposite him was reading one of his books. He said, "I see you're reading my book." She looked horrified and said, "I'm so sorry! It was just sitting there when I sat down and I thought someone had left it behind. Here, take it, take it, I'm so sorry."
