God bless you, sir. I can honestly say this novel is the best thing I've ever written, and the amazing editing job Guy Adams did for me made it even better. I'm never 100% satisfied with anything I write...but this one comes close. Very close. |

Zed I really enjoyed your collection 'Dirty Prayers' which I finished recently- Your story 'Out on a Limb' is as close as one can get to a perfect short story I thought. Thanks for sharing that. Being a filmmaker myself I can relate to the scenario- scouting very strange locations for film productions- That could almost be a subgenre :-) |

Thanks, mate. Much appreciated. "Out on a Limb" was the precursor to "Rough Cut", and the first of my tales to feature the Daleside asylum. rest assured, "Rain Dogs" features a lot of the damaged characters and gritty social realism that you found in "Dirty Prayers". It's my bread-and-butter. :-) |

Thanks, Lincoln. I'm really trying to get this one out there: Humdrumming have thrown the kitchen sink at it to make it a success. Seriously, the design of the book itself is gorgeous. I just hope my words live up to it... ;-) |

Funny. Some of the books I've read of late I've come near to throwing at the kitchen sink . . . |

I ordered mine, too, even though I deserve to get a free copy because of how awesome I am. It's true. Check Wikipedia. |
