Noticed that you liked The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here (as well as on a few other book-related sites). I thought you might like my novel since it's been compared to that novel by a number of reviewers. I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like. Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary in case you're interested:

Thank you for including me amongst your 'favorite authors'. To that end, you might wish to know - since I see it isn't yet available on amazon.com - that I have - as of last month - replaced the last edition of the Cassell Dict. of Slang with the new Chambers Slang Dict. It is, effectively a third edn of the original book (I have changed publishers), but much changed, expanded and, I hope, improved. Forgive what may appear as a sales pitch, but reference books are perhaps the single type of lit. wherein having the 1st edn is not invariably having the most useful.
