| Comment: | I am not a terrorist - hang on a minute..the singer likes Star Trek.... YOU'RE DEAD..DEAD,DEAD,DEAD!! |
| Response: | The novel clearly states any similarities are entirely coincidental. Have a nice day. |

| Comment: | I am not a terrorista - is you mum realy called Audrey? She must be proud with your second novel and the dog food sales going so well. btw your link to excerpt goes to Homeland, not the new one. |
| Response: | My mother does not exist as I am an entirely virtual being. I can't see where the excerpt link is wrong... |

| Comment: | i am not a terrorist because micheal amos is a dick |
| Response: | You are not a terrorist, just a bit lacking in wit and originality. The sort of person Homeland really likes. A worthy citizen of the mall. |

| Comment: | I am not a terrorist.Hi Mike, Well done and keep up the good work. G and K |

| Mike Amos on 5th-March-2008 20:53 | |
| Comment: | I am not a terrorist, but I too am Michael Amos, and have been for 40 years. Actually met another Michael Amos once when I was in the military. |
| Response: | I am honoured. You'll see from previous posts on this page that you are not alone. |
| Marcus Mason on 6th-February-2008 14:40 | |
| Comment: | I am not a terrorist, but I am the real Marcus Mason. Do I win a small prize? |
| Response: | I am honoured. If you email me your address, I will send you a plectrum of broken dreams... |
| Al on 13th-December-2007 11:51 | |
| Comment: | I am not a terrorist. Hi Mike, with your second book out does this mean I'll be getting my tenner back? Al. |
| Response: | It is subversive behaviour to suggest my nickname is Michael "lend us a tenner" Amos. For your own security and wellbeing etc. etc. |
| Terry on 20th-November-2007 11:46 | |
| Comment: | I am not a terrorist or a tortoise, I am a terrapin! I really don't understand why people get so confused about it. One of these days I am going to flip out and walk around with explosive lettuce in my mouth! |
| Response: | It is subversive behaviour for recreational objects, subclass pets, subclass reptiles to communicate with citizens of the mall. For your own security and wellbeing, you will now be terminated. Have a nice day. |

| Comment: | i am not a terrorist merely an amnesiac who may have left the gas on. |
| Response: | Welcome to the brotherhood |

| Christian de Juan on 26th-July-2007 22:38 | |
| Comment: | I am not a terrorist. Hi Michael, hope you enjoy "Speaking your mind"...I don't read that much myself, but now I kind of feel obliged to at least read a chapter of one of your books!... |
| Response: | Go see Mankala play - high energy Afro-Caribbean fusion to blow you away |
| Jane Lovering on 29th-May-2007 14:57 | |
| Comment: | I am not a terrorist. I never read books nor write for Samhain. So how I came to know of you is a matter of mystery. Keep up the virtuality! Homeland is fantastic...err, not that I'd know of course, what with the not reading and all. Sorry, must go now, I have the strangest compulsion to buy shoes... |
| Response: | Now really Jane, you are only making things worse for yourself. I see from http://www.janelovering.co.uk/ that you do write, subversive behaviour I simply cannot permit. For your own security and well being, you will now be terminated. Have a nice day. |
| Michael Amos on 21st-May-2007 12:42 | |
| Comment: | I am not a terrorist...or so I heard. I am Mike Amos though. I found someone hit my websites by googling my name so I thought I would try it and I found you. Perhaps you are the other half of my brain that I lost in third grade. Good to see you other half, I hope life is treating you well. |
| Response: | I hope life is treating you well too. Sadly I am not even the other half of my own arse, let alone my brain, so I can't help you with your long lost grey matter. |
| Jules on 13th-May-2007 14:21 | |
| Comment: | I am not a terrorist, well actually I once thought... too late...terminated... Excellent book Mike. Absolutely loved it, couldnt put it down (well only to refill my wine glass). Wasnt at all what I had expected, had me laughing aloud one minute and biting my nails the next!!! Can't wait for your next one! |
| Response: | Why thank you Jules. I drank quite a lot of wine whilst writing it. |
| tom brown on 22nd-April-2007 22:30 | |
| Comment: | I am not a terrorist. Really. Not even close! A bit subversive in my outlook, but..no sort of terrorist at all! Very good to meet you! have read your first post on Brynneth Colvin\'s list with great interest! Look forward to learning more! tom brown (of Copper Age) |
| Response: | And I look forward to seeing the Copper Age come out. |
| ggh on 19th-March-2007 15:52 | |
| Comment: | i am not a terrorist |
| Response: | Short and to the point. I like it... |
| michael amos on 16th-December-2006 14:41 | |
| Comment: | i am not a terrorist.i am just sending this message because i typed my name into google and this came up!maybe we are related??please email bk i am 20 years old |
| Response: | Thanks for dropping by - you are the second Michael Amos to visit. Alas, we cannot be related because I am an entirely virtual being. |
| Jenna on 21st-November-2006 23:24 | |
| Comment: | I am not a terrorist just a redneck that loved the excerpts of your work in progress, keep up the good work! A fellow Samhellion Well, I am a Samhellion that shall be in hell.. Ok, my book with Samhain isn't out yet. LOL. Love the excerpt, ok? |
| Response: | The very best of luck with your Samhain novel. Hang on, did you say novel? I'm afraid, Homeland wouldn't allow that. For your own security and well being, you will now be terminated. Have a nice day. |
| Angela James on 21st-November-2006 23:06 | |
| Comment: | I am not a terrorist but I AM an evil editor. I had to comment because this is cracking me up. Quite amusing, Michael :) |
| Response: | An editor!!! Forget the security and well being bit, you'll just be terminated. Have a nice day ;) |
| L.A. McGruder on 20th-November-2006 22:10 | |
| Comment: | I am not a terrorist!!! I am an aspiring author that stands in the shadow of your achievements. |
| Response: | Oh, blush. I wish you the very, very best. And now, I'm afraid I'll have to terminate you for your own security and well being. Have a nice day. |
| Aids on 20th-November-2006 16:09 | |
| Comment: | I am not a terrorist, subversive, and all round evil plotter of dastardly deeds (actually, I am) - fortunately, I live in air-vent #55, thereby invisible to security monitoring, and thus should remain in your database... To Mike - great book (really). To all others: Buy this book, it's a great read, and Michael can change his name from Mike "lend us a tenner", err, "Amos". |
| Response: | Air-vents do not exist. It is a subversive activity to remove the grills from the walls. For your own security and well being, I will now go flibble, flibble, flibble. |
| Patricia Emmert on 20th-November-2006 03:56 | |
| Comment: | I am not a terrorist. Hi Michael, got your message on the writingandpublishing yahoogroup. You have a nice website, and I've visited the UK and love it. I have a contemporary semi-science fiction in the works but have not pitched it yet. It seems that British Sci-Fi is much more reliant on technical correctness than a lot of American sci-fi. Mine is pretty much American style. What do you expect from a Yankee? LOL! |
| Response: | I would like to wish you the best of British with your book. However, books are the tools of terrorist, subversive infiltrators and I will now have to terminate you, etc.etc.etc. |
| Ursula on 7th-November-2006 00:30 | |
| Comment: | I am not a terrorist, clone, or lobbyist. I do enjoy a good dark farce, and supporting fellow authors. I'm looking forward to Homeland, ordering it from my local Borders. Dare I think, a Terry Prachett of Sci Fi? |
| Response: | Ah, if I could only be half as good as Terry Pratchett. However, since only a terrorist-subversive would mention the word "clone" (all explained in the novel) you will now be terminated you for your own security and well being. |
| Ian Brayshaw on 27th-September-2006 14:52 | |
| Comment: | I am not a terrorist. Well that's all I wanted to say anyway. Funny that. |
| Response: | Funny? Only a terrorist-subversive would think like that. You will now be terminated for your own security and well being. Have a nice day. |
| Katie Moore! on 26th-September-2006 12:46 | |
| Comment: | I am not a terrorist !! . . Hey, i really like your webpage, and am lukin forward to reading the book. I think we have it on order. xx |
| Response: | Why, thank you Miss Moore. |
| Sir John D. Minderman on 21st-September-2006 12:56 | |
| Comment: | I am not a terrorist. Hope your book sells well. |
| Response: | And may the Rising Phoenix Con 2007 be a great success. |
| Ross on 20th-September-2006 16:06 | |
| Comment: | I am not a terrorist but i hope the book is as well recieved as it already seems to be. |
| Response: | Kind words from a man who knows his Smilodon DNA. |
| Cliff on 17th-August-2006 14:37 | |

| Response: | My thanks Cliff. May your lager be forever cold. |
| Chris Powers on 17th-August-2006 05:01 | |
| Comment: | Hmm... Where am I? I smell pretzels and perfume. It must be the mall. Wait what am I doing here? What's that awful noise? There are other people here too? Wait...there's a book store. I'll hide in there. . . . . .waiting.....waiting....guess I'll read something while I'm here....oh look, Homeland. I hear that's pretty good. **hides in back reading book*** |
| Response: | Reading a book? In the mall! For your own security and well being, you will now be terminated. Have a nice day. |
| Jenn on the Island on 6th-August-2006 04:48 | |
| Comment: | Um, I don't write books..... |
| Response: | Silly me - I had you down for an author. My apologies... |
| John Thaw on 3rd-August-2006 02:32 | |
| Comment: | ...- . --. . - .- -... .-.. . .-. .. --. .... - ... ..--.. |
| Response: | You are posting subversive, coded messages for vegetable rights on my website. For your own security and well being, you will now be terminated. Have a nice day |
| Paul Taylor on 3rd-August-2006 02:28 | |
| Comment: | Hey man are you purely a UK gig or will you be signing in the States? If so let me know when as I would like to shake your hand. |
| Response: | I'm UK based so unless I sell shed-loads of books...Let me extend a virtual hand and many thanks |
| Frances on 3rd-August-2006 00:57 | |
| Comment: | Mike, I love what I have read already and can't wait to get the whole book as I love to get my head around something solid and fullfilling. Any chance we could meet up???? |
| Response: | Many thanks - the print version comes out 19th September. Meeting up is of course impossible as I am an entirely virtual being but thanks for the kind offer. |
| michael amos on 12th-July-2006 21:19 | |
| Comment: | nice to know i'm not alone |
| Response: | You are, my friend. We are all figments of your imagination |
| Jenn on the Island on 11th-July-2006 23:04 | |
| Comment: | Glad I popped into Samhain today. Congrats! I'll be looking for more articles about rocks. |
| Response: | Always nice to hear from a fellow Samhain author |
| Ian Brayshaw on 4th-July-2006 11:56 | |
| Comment: | You look a right psycho in your photo. |
| Response: | Ian, you say the loveliest things. Get along to the Flowing Well, Sunningwell, South of Oxford on a Thursday night folks to see this singer-songwriter in action. He'll blow you away... |
| The PiedPiper on 4th-July-2006 10:30 | |
| Comment: | From an avid science fiction/fact reader. Rats will rule eventually...heh heh |
| Response: | If you've got fleas, this man will cure you. Find everything you want to know about things that creep and bite at http://www.the-piedpiper.co.uk/ |
| Security Camera 1A# on 19th-June-2006 13:18 | |
| Comment: | How apt that on the day I decide to monitor your web site the visitor count is 1984. Maybe this is a portent for the success of your book. Good luck, The watchers of wilderness |
| Response: | Indeed it is. What a shame then that the email you entered was not valid for you would have won an electronic copy of my book for your very amusing efforts... |
| Graham on 24th-May-2006 21:59 | |
| Comment: | Hi Mike read your excert enjoyed it, by the way the link on your home page Join the Michael Amos mailing list don't work. |
| Response: | I'd wondered why nobody joined my bloody mailing list. It works now - join it folks and have two chances to win the soon to be released Homeland. |
| Audrey on 14th-May-2006 19:17 | |
| Comment: | Sounds fab and I would like to read it !!! Well I want a signed copy of course. Much love Mum xxx |

| Louise Moore on 14th-May-2006 04:16 | |
| Comment: | Michael, you look like a drug addict in the camera lens!! |
| Response: | And I thought it was rather a flattering photograph. Perhaps I was right... |
| random on 13th-May-2006 02:46 | |

| Hormonal on 9th-May-2006 12:44 | |

| Tamzin on 1st-April-2006 13:38 | |
| Comment: | If your writing is anything like your guitar playing, the book should be fab - buy it folks - buy it!!! |
| Response: | kind words from a fellow author |
| Yvonne on 17th-March-2006 15:28 | |
| Comment: | How long can a comment be / Before it becomes a short story? / And ipso facto ceases to be / a meaningful commentary? Nice site, good luck with the book, and thanks for the link. |
| Response: | Words of wisdom from the keeper of the Bath speculative fiction portal - see http://people.bath.ac.uk/ccsya/sfrg/sf.htm |
| Rod on 7th-March-2006 20:26 | |
| Comment: | You look sooooo mean & moody on your picture! I like em mean & moody. Are you mean & moody? Or just mean? Or just moody? Or are you none of these things? Or are you moody & mean? Man? Woman? Are you a man or a woman? Coz I can't tell from your photo |
| Response: | I'm just a little puppy, really. With big brown eyes and a waggy tail. |
| Aids on 12th-February-2006 00:37 | |
| Comment: | Michael Amos eh? Where the heck is that from?? Anyway, I like the way that the work in progress page is self-referencing - this was either clever, or just an oversight! Eek - didnt realise that this would be available to the world! Maybe if I make a rude comment (not too hard) it will be removed?::Arr har harr harrrr... :-/ Hey - just noticed, this page has the really cool tag of "default template" sort of Zeb methinks (if deliberate, which of course it is).:: I say "Zeb", I mean "Zen" (although "Zeb" might be closer to what I mean). flobble obble obble...:: |
| Response: | Basically, Aids, you need to get out more. |
| Bartholomew on 10th-February-2006 16:51 | |
| Comment: | Micahel - tracked you down thru one of those *special* sites! Glad that you seem to be back on your feet now & off the streets. No way to make a living, & I'm glad you've put a stop to it. Can't wait to read your book - is it autobiographical? That should be fun! All the best - Bart |
| Response: | Always nice to hear from a former client. |
| Rich Luckett on 10th-February-2006 15:12 | |
| Comment: | Hi Mike. Hope that you know how honoured you are to have the first ever guest book graced by my presence. |
| Response: | The honour is all yours. |
| Candy on 10th-February-2006 14:52 | |
| Comment: | Hey, are you the Michael Amos I had a thing with in high school a few years back? Wow, you have a changed a lot, you look older now (all the stress of being a hair dresser getting to you?), and you hair has receded slightly, and it used to be long and curly (I meant your hair silly! *blush*), plus of course, you used to be black. Well, am I sure you are still the same Mikiekins inside *hug*. Looking forward to reading your book! |
| Response: | I can only blush and deny everything. It does concern me, however, that your inferred description of my penis is entirely accurate. |
