About meMy first book, Impaired Ocular Acuity and Other Demented Synapses, has just been published, and the other three books within which I am currently immersed are 75% completed, as well. My second book, The Other Lamb, should be ready for publication within a year, and An Atheist in a Foxhole should be ready within the same time frame. Only the gods know when I will finish Not for the Moon, which I hope to complete before 2012.

IOAAODS has a mostly gay theme, although not all of the stories are of this subject matter. My next book, The Other Lamb, does not share this theme.

I do not use an outline, nor do I begin at the beginning, when I write. I have no idea how it works so well, but it does, and I have yet to experience writer's block.

I invite you to stop by my website, and have a look at some of the snippets posted there. If you like what you see, perhaps you will want to read more of my work.

About my libraryIn my libary, you will only find books that I actually own. I do not post all that I have read, which would add up to a few thousand, by this point.

To date, I have only posted a portion of my library, and even when that task is complete there will be significantly less than what was. Before moving, I donated ninety-percent of my books to a local library, so that others could read what I would undoubtedly never read again. Once I know a story it is difficult for me to lose myself in it, a second time. For me, the beauty of a story is in the discovery, and knowing the plot does not allow me to lose myself within the pages, a second time. Yes, perhaps this is a failing, in the eyes of some die-hard readers. Attaining perfection in life still eludes me.

At this point, I only keep books that hold some significance for me, such as signed or first editions, gifts from dear friends, research materials and the like.

Oh, I'm so sorry for not responding to you. I only have internet access at work and was so busy the day I received your first message. I did mean to get back to you and tell that, by all means, I would like your inscription, but it totally fell through the cracks of my crazy day!

Thank for taking the liberty of signing it. I can't wait to read it!

Take care.
Are you learning to sail? Cool. I just took my first lessons this summer. I saw the manual on your list.
I visited your website, read several excerpts, was duly impressed and purchased your book!

I will post reviews here and on Amazon when I've finished reading it. If I enjoy it well enough, I'll also give it a plug on my Livejournal blog.

Take care.
I'll do that today. Have a great day.
Okay, I figured it out. Each link opens a new page. I've been on computer too long. My mind is getting fuzzy. It is good. I like your writing.
Well to tell you the truth, I haven't even begun to add all the books I've read or even own,(or want to read for that matter) Your description sounded interesting. I am excited to read it and reviewing it.
Many thanks I look forward to reviewing the book

Graham
Thanks for allowing me a copy of your book. I can't wait to read it.

Thank you very much for mailing your book :) I'll explain my reasons for reading in the review, so you'll get the answer in some time. I'm just affraid it'll not be very soon, as I've just got a bunch of books for reviews from publishing houses with which I cooperate usually. But I'll do my best to read it asap.
