about this author
ALL THE WORLD'S A GRAVE: A NEW PLAY BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, Fall 2008 (PENGUIN/PLUME)
The literary trick of the year. —New York Post
I can't quite believe "All The World's A Grave,": such an original idea. —Ian McKellen
This is the Frankenstein's monster of Shakespearean tragedy. It raises the
Artistotelian emotions of pity and fear to a new level as the audience

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.

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 John!
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 :)
Hi John,
If you don't mind sharing--I'm curious, what's your favorite novel of all time (if you have one)?
Here’s wishing you a fantastic day filled with fabulous fates, fanciful festivities, and frolicking phantom footstools.
-Jeremy :)
I am going public with this one: what a winning photograph! (It's almost winsome on account of the socks, which are my favorite part.)
