I love words and sentences. I've always been a reader, which led to my love of writing. My father was a screenwriter who showed me how to work hard and never give up. I live in Southern California, near our beautiful deserts that feed my soul and my writing.

I've written articles and essays for several publications including the Los Angeles Times , Lost Angeles Times Magazine, and Orange Coast Magazine. My short stories have been performed at The New Short Fiction Series in Los Angeles and the Annenberg Community Beach House in Santa Monica, California. My story, "The Winter Season," placed me as a finalist for the Glimmer Train Very Short Fiction Award.

Allison That is great news, Jeremy! Congratulations!!


message 10: by Jeremy

Jeremy I want to apologize for the all the recommendations from me yesterday. 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.

-Jeremy


Jeremy 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:

Jeremy Hi Allison!

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 :)


Allison Thanks, Daniel!


Daniel
Allison, I've added Your Self-Confident Baby, The Way Home and Cup of Comfort for Cat Lovers to my to-read list.

Allison The same best wishes to you, Jeremy.


message 4: by Jeremy (last edited Aug 25, 2016 01:58PM)

Jeremy Thanks for sharing, Allison! I haven't read the last two books you listed, so I'll definitely check them out.

Here's wishing you the best in all aspects of your life.

-Jeremy :)

Allison Can't say that I have just one favorite book. Ones that I truly love are To Kill a Mockingbird, The Great Gatsby, Plainsong, and Ordinary People.


message 2: by Jeremy (last edited Aug 25, 2016 01:55PM)

Jeremy Hi Allison!

If you don't mind sharing--I was wondering, what's your favorite book of all time?

Here’s wishing you a weekend filled with wacky whims, wonderful weirdness, and well-disposed werecats.

-Jeremy :)

Jeremy Thanks for the friendship, Allison! Here’s wishing you a fantastic day filled with fabulous fates, fanciful festivities, and frolicking phantom footstools. :)
