Thank you for the friendship here on Goodreads, Anne. I love your books.Sue, author of Life is Like Making Chocolate Chip Cookies
Thanks for being my goodreads buddy, Anne!
My new romantic suspense, The Twist is a Bookstrand #1 Bestseller! A story of mind-bending control and unnerving metamorphosis, The Twist unravels the tale of a hotshot consultant as he struggles to foil a plot to steal $12 million and to rescue the feisty, female scientist who has stolen his heart.

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.

Hi, I see you are an avid reader! That's great. I'd love to invite you to read my books, Nimrod Rising, Stillborn and Probable Cause. I hope you'll read them and let me know what you think. Thanks!

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:

Hi Anne!Here’s wishing you a yippee-filled Yuletime overflowing with yard-long yams, yapping yoyo-yanking yetis, yak-milk yeast-cakes, and yellow yarn-yielding year-end yard-gnomes.
-Jeremy :)
Thanks for the friendship, Anne!If you don't mind sharing--I'm curious, what's your favorite novel of all time (if you have one)?
Also, I was wondering if you'd do me the honor of reading about my debut novel, Vacation. Your support would mean a lot to me. If you'd like to do me this honor, feel free to click here:

Here’s wishing you a fantastic day filled with fabulous fates, fanciful festivities, and frolicking phantom footstools.
-Jeremy :)
Anne, Australia was just on my mind--I opened my e-mail to send a message to Jock Gordon (another Australian writer) when I saw your message. I will tell my romance-loving daughter about your books, esp. Kitty McKenzie. McKenzie is my husband's middle name. So many coincidences.
Happy reading and writing!
