Dude. I'm not obsessed with you. It just seems that way because this is the third question I've asked. But, if we were hanging out and having coffee or a beer I'd been asking you a lot more questions. So three really isn't that many and certainty doesn't connote obsessions (me thinketh the lady bullshit aside...) So question: What? You don't have a uvula? Are you sure? Because that seems kinda odd.
Paul Tremblay
ha! Well, here's hoping we all get to hang out with coffee or beer soonest. Yeah, no uvula. I suffered from sleep apnea and ended up having surgery in the late 90's. They removed my tonsils and uvula (and fixed a deviated septum) to make a wider breathing hole, kinda like a whale or a dolphin?

Paul, forgot to ask you this question in my previous text. I’m new to your work. I want to tell you that when I received your book, Survivor Song, I was so intrigued that it jumped ahead of a very long list of books. I read it on the spot. Could you or perhaps another reader on Goodreads, suggest the best order in which to read your books? Thank you for your time

Hi, Paul. You may have already answered this question, but I didn't go back very far in the question section. When did you start writing and what brought you to it? I think that I first read you in an anthology but don't remember which exactly. I read both novels and short stories. I enjoy anthologies for the reason that I find new, lesser known authors to read.

Hello dear Paul, I read AHFOG, but it has been Growing Things that has solidified my liking for your style. I think your experiments with format and your hand at combining mundane, familial pathos with the supernatural lends itself really well to short stories. Out of all such stories, is there any you are particularly proud of, be it because of theme, execution, idea or any other reasons? Thank you!
