Paul's
review of The Homeless Channel:
"Really solid debut graphic novel from a talent to watch out for in the future. Characters speak and act in realistic ways, and while the graphic novel sometimes seems to lose focus (is it a condemnation of reality tv, or a look at modern romance, or ...more " | |

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.

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 Matt!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 :)
Hey Matt - I'm in awe of graphic novels - the illustration/characterization, the cell composition and cropping, the writing - and how terrifically moving they can be. i.e. Jimmy Corrigan, Blankets, Everyday Matters, Cruddy. The books you're reading and rating sound/look interesting.
Hi Matt!If you don't mind sharing--I was wondering, what's your favorite graphic novel of all time?
Here’s wishing you a weekend filled with wacky whims, wonderful weirdness, and well-disposed werecats.
-Jeremy :)
Thanks for the friendship, Matt! Here’s wishing you a fantastic day filled with fabulous fates, fanciful festivities, and frolicking phantom footstools. :)
Hello Matt,Thanks for adding me to your friends list. When you have a moment check out the series I'm currently working on - edgarfont.com. It's a busy week for me here. I just finished the rewrite of book 3 and it's due to the editors in a couple days. With that, I had better go. I look forward to sharing stories. Maybe I'll see you in town one day. Have an adventurous if not haunted day.
