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,

938833 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.

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:

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 :)
