I haven’t written to this blog for quite some time. While I’m still writing, I also spend a lot of time photographing – mainly birds, but other things too. So my latest writing efforts have been about birds for children, as a result of my grandchildren asking often about different birds. This is me below, with my friend, Dr Nish Nayar, who contributed to the third edition of Words on Birds. I was

I set a goal to read a book a month at the beginning of this year. I'm currently reading my 12th book for the year. I think I made it!

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.

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:

Thanks for sharing, Kathie! I really appreciate it.

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.

I don't have a favourite novel Jeremy - I enjoy most of what I've read and I guess it depends on what mood I'm in or where I'm at in my life as to what I choose to read at that time.

Thanks for your request to read your novel - I can see you have a lot of reviews already, congratulations. However, I already have a list of books waiting for me to read and reviews I owe others and that must come first. My time is rather booked for the next few months.

All the best,

Kathie

Thanks for the friendship, Kathie!

If you don't mind sharing--I'm curious, what's your favorite novel of all time (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.
