Hi,

Was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Saw you liked Paris Trout, and I thought you might like my novel since it's also southern and a bit dark. 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:

Thanks,

Chris
Much thanks for the add to your reader friends list. You have Harry Crews' BODY, a book I enjoyed many years back. Also, I'm a huge Charles Williams fan, both his sea tales and his small town noirs. I've neglected my readings from the selections in Penzler's pulp anthology. Thanks for the nudge.

Good reading,

Ed Lynskey
Hi,

You have a great list of books under your repertoire. I am planning to you use your list as a reference on what to add to my wish list. I took a gander and I saw many books where I found myself think, Man…I have to read that!

Cheers HHF
Love your horror collection, I've added you to my contacts so that I can come back and pick up some new reads. :)
