Thank you for sending me Miracles and Conundrums, I really enjoyed it. When I started the first story, I thought it might be science fiction, but I realized it was just written from the point of view of an alien. Then, after reading a couple more stories, I thought it was fantasy. Was GG Marquiz and Allende any influence? The characters in all the stories are really well developed. I was absorbed.
Jacob M. Appel
Thanks for the kind words. Alas, Marquez and Allende are major writers, while I am a minor writer, so their influence has been largely confined to reminding me to maintain humility and know my place.

Where did you develop your weird sense of humor? That's the best kind. I started laughing just reading what some of your books were about.
