545392 In the Kingdom of the Prolific, you are Queen. I see you sitting on a Carnelian Throne with Goldfinches Alighting.

The H.D. touches, you know.

You should send me something to review sometime.

My reviewing is mostly confined to my blog as I sort of segregate myself from Literature Proper.

But I would still like to get a freebie and talk about you.

If you're down get back and I'll give you my addy for snails.

If not, I'll eventually weaken and buy something.

:-)

630905 I want to apologize for the all the recommendations from me yesterday. 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.

630905 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:

630905 Hi Amy!

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 :)

630905 Hi Amy!

If you don't mind sharing--I was wondering, what's your favorite novel of all time? Or novels?

Here’s wishing you a fantastic day filled with fabulous friendships, fanciful festivities, and frolicking phantom footstools.

-Jeremy :)

276352 Amy, my favorite poem is the Rubaiyat by Omar Khayyam. You and I have both discovered our own distinct nitches in this literary jungle. Whether our work lasts as long as that of Omar Khayyam remains to be seen.
