2. The logical perspective of a patient with a medical background when faced with difficult medical dilemmas
3. Multiple perspectives from the loved o...more


A "blook" is a book based on a blog.

That’s right! A “soundtrack” for a book! Just another crazy idea I came up with. The book “soundtrack” will be available as an iMix through iTunes for your iPod. You can search for it in the iTunes “Music Store” under iMixs. Or you can listen to it as a playlist on my MySpace or facebook accounts. It is a compilation of the chapter titles and essay titles fro... read more »

Wow! A real eye opener. Although this book isn't specific to brain tumors, the research and theories can be applied to physical rehab. Most of the research on the brain is done on the surface of the brain. Until there is a way to physically "get in t...more

Jeremy I want to apologize for the all the recommendations from me today. I wanted to share the Stoker Award news, and I only pressed the send button once--I'm not sure what happened to create so many messages. Some weird glitch.

Argh...this is terrible...

Again, I'm very sorry.

Jeremy Here’s wishing you a nifty New Year filled with noiseless noses, neato nicknames, noble Nebraskans, gnarly narcoleptic nebulas, and novel novels about nut-eating narwhals and novercaphobic gnats.

-Jeremy :)

P.S.—I’m currently offering autographed/personally-inscribed copies of my novel, Vacation, with free shipping for those in the US. If there’s anything you could do to help me spread the word about this, I’d really appreciate it. Feel free to click here for details:
