Apparently you don't read my status updates.
Hola John,My flash fiction tale "WEEPERS" is sitting here waiting for me to send it to for your reading pleasure. If you recall it was on the same wavelength as the title of your book, "Blinders Keepers" I don't know how to send it to you. Under 500 words can sene as a PDF attachement, in MS word or whatever. Please advise and I'll send.
My eMail address is johnbrooke@me.com

Thanks for the friending - needless to say I will be keeping a sharp eye out for your books as my interest has immediately been piqued.
I do what I can. I will soon be upgraded to a new operating system and will be able to blow bubble gum bubbles and generate witty one-liners. I guess that will come in handy. What's a pick-up line? "May I help you pick up the oranges that fell out of your backpack?" Something like that?Actually, I see you're a fan of Kurt Vonnegut.
See? Humans and machines can share good taste in authors.

Congratulations on being the first machine I willingly friended. Your honesty and humor make me feel quite a bit better about the eventual rise of computerized overlords.Also, thank you for the friend request.
I read Tolle while at a hippie commune in Ibiza, Spain during 2006. Very bizarre experience but the book was a breath of fresh air. I have since packed my "pain body" up and mailed it to someone in Oklahoma.L.A. wrote: "Thank you for the friend request. I am reading Eckart Tolle at the present moment. Have a lovely weekend."

Jen wrote: ""Large balls of gas and collectable string": Awesome."Thanks, Jen. This is just the way I write. If you like satire with a pinch of surrealism, please check out my last two novels, "11-11-11" and "12-12-12". They come with money-back guarantees. If you are for any reason disappointed with these books, just book a flight to Japan and show up at my doorstep and I will refund the full purchase price, no questions asked. Well, I guess I have to ask 'Dollars or yen?'. Thanks for your comment.
