I saw your personal site on Xanga (Xanga.com) and noticed you had a baby a few months back. What can you tell us about the baby? My wife was interested in learning more about your family. She said you had an interesting little Xanga site and thought you had a quirky sense of humor.
Can you settle a bet between us? She thinks you are very sarcastic, is that true? I don't think you mean to be sarcastic and she thinks you are very sarcastic.
Your novel, Darkness Within, intrigues us both although we haven't finished it yet. It's getting bounced back and forth between us. When I put it down she steals it and vice versa. Your novel has been a lot of fun for us both. Thanks.

Dear Vince,
My wife, Andrea and I had a healthy baby boy on August 1, 2001. His name is Tristan Xander Ross. Being able to stay at home during the day as a writer has really worked out great for our new little family. Andrea is able to enjoy the successes of her career and I have the luxury of staying at home with Tristan.
Although it has taken some getting used to being a stay at home father. Juggling those responsibilities while maintaining my writing career has been a learning experience.
I hope you didn't bet anything to extreme because I'm afraid your wife wins the bet. Being sarcastic is part of the basic makeup of my character.
I'm pleased you're both enjoying the book.
Take a risk and put yourself out there. If you don't try you'll never know what you could have done.

Dear J. Marcus,
I've just completed your novel Darkness Within and I'm a little confused. At the end of the book you instruct people to check out the official Darkness Within website at www.infinitypresents.com for information on the next book. When I go to that web address all I get is a login screen. Is there some kind of a code to access this site? Do you have to pay to access this information or something?

Dear Carrie,
There seems to be a problem with the website. I'm having the Webmaster look into why this is happening. Until then please use www.jmarcusross.com for more information on Darkness Within and its sequel. I'm sorry you ran into problems when trying to access this information.
