updated Mar 29, 2010 04:32pm
Description:
"A dark commentary on conformity in American society, Mortarville is the story of "Jack Smith," a man created from a test tube. Raised in a secret underground government facility with other test-tube boys, who are punished harshly for any minor infraction, Jack is taught to understand the outside world by reading comic books and watching old television shows. After repeated escape attempts, he is programmed to remember that he had a family, and is released to live in Mortarville, a decaying industrial city. However, no matter how hard he tries to belong to the real world, he cannot shake the memories of his past, which leads to a spectacular and moving conclusion."

Hi Grant!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 selling 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:

What the heck...No, I still live in or near the city you make fun of so cruelly. But I have fixed it. So continue to mock.(Also, thank you Kathy for saying something nice about my book and not something mean about the city I am unfortunately from--would that they taught those sort of manners in the keystone state, whatever the heck a keyston state is anyway.)
Argh...this is terrible...
Again, I'm very sorry.
-Jeremy
