630905 I want to apologize for the all the recommendations from me today. I wanted to share the Stoker Award news, and I only pressed the send button once--I'm not sure what happened.

Argh...this is terrible...

Again, I'm very sorry.

630905 Hi Shaindel!

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:

211364 Hi, Daniel,

I had just assumed people would cut and paste into an address bar. I guess I can always make them live links... Thanks for curing my laziness so that other people can have it ;-)

276352 Shaindel, you write about what you know the most about. Anyone who tells you anything else is stearing you wrong. Thanks for the rapid reply. I'll get with you again later.
