review of I'm The Man Who Loves You:

Hi Amy! Just dropping in to say hello and I was listening a few days ago, to the CD you sent me, while dying my hair blonde. The blonde didn't work out so well, but I had a good time singing. 
I apologise for my late reply.
Oh, you get it on the radio I thought you were talking about the television channel.
It doesn't sound like an easy thing to live with put it that way, must be a big strain on your life. But you sound as if your getting through which is good. :)
That's alright.
Thank you.
Speak soon,
Sean.
Cool picture and thanks for the ad, Michele Marchetti

Looking for pt/ft help nationwide
You've been sick for almost three months? Wow, I can’t even begin to imagine how irritating that must have become. Nothing serious was up I hope? I can't say I've ever heard of the condition I'll have to whack it in Google and find out. Oh its blackouts? I've heard of this before but didn’t actually know what it was called. It sounds quite serious, but I'm glad you’re better now. :D
I'll have a look on Amazon later and see if I can get hold of it and I'll keep a look out for the sample.
I'm good thanks, been busy with exams though but so glad there finally over now.
London isn’t too bad, the weathers got good these last few days which makes a change.
Oh yeah there’s always arguments over politics here in England, you get the BBC over there then? Didn’t think you would.
Hi Amy, The books arrived and are being enjoyed. THANK YOU! I will look forward to saying something about them in a public forum very soon.
Make more!
Hi Amy - nice to meet you! :-)
I haven't had a chance to read your poetry yet but I look forward to it. And what lovely book covers!
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.
:-)
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.
-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:

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 :)
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 :)
Hello Amy--
It's great to meet such a prolific author here at GoodReads. Looking forward to becoming more familiar with your work. Peace,

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.
i want to be with stobb. whatever gets me with stobb will be good. i don't have anything planned beyond october. any day is good. thank you.
