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 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:

630905 Hi Jennie!

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 Thanks for the kind words, and the interest in my novel, Jennie!

I haven't read some of the books that you listed, but I'll definitely check them out. I do love Jane Eyre, and wrote a few papers on it.

I think right now my favorite novels are 1984, A Clockwork Orange, Slaughterhouse-Five, and The God of Small Things.

Happy Yuletime to you and your loved ones,
-Jeremy :)

630905 Thanks for the friendship, Jennie!

If you don't mind sharing--I'm curious, what's your favorite novel(if you have one)?

Also, I was wondering if you'd do me the honor of reading about my debut novel, Vacation. Your support would mean a lot to me. If you'd like to do me this honor, feel free to click here:

Here’s wishing you a fantastic day filled with fabulous fates, fanciful festivities, and frolicking phantom footstools.

Nophoto-f-50x66 Morgantown has changed a lot in the past few years. The University is larger, and we have more students. We were reclassified as a small city (instead of a large town) and I swear three Starbucks appeared overnight!

I have three year old twin boys (not identicle). If you come to Morgantown, let me know. We should have lunch!
