I can perfectly understand how ...Dear Ms. Wheeler,<br /><br />I can perfectly understand how Mr. Rowe's exceptional prose could make anyone so excited as to forget all else. Please do not feel badly about that. You were not rude; I am not insulted.<br /><br />All my very best wishes for your health. I am one who understands how chronic pain can keep you away from the keyboard.<br /><br />Best,<br />DavidAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22799384.post-1164870316204525442006-11-30T02:05:00.000-05:002006-11-30T02:05:00.000-05:00Dear Mr. Lord, The review was horrid in that it d...Dear Mr. Lord, <BR/> <BR/>The review was horrid in that it did not speak of the other two novellas. I was focused on something entirely singular; due to my physical state at that time, I neglected to include my opinion concerning “Secrets” and “Holy Time”. I do feel rather badly about that. I enjoyed “Secrets” immensely, and your attention to lore caught my interest. You captured Tom’s phases and frame of mind superbly, lending believability to the tale. I especially found myself chuckling at the teenage Tom as he regarded the world around him from that youthful perspective. <BR/> <BR/>I had hoped to return to Amazon and correct my oversight, but the damn web site will not allow me to do anything once a review has been submitting to them. I should really scrap the entire thing and rework it. (It was my first attempt at reviewing anything.)<BR/> <BR/>I do need to add that I have been physically “down” for a few months. I am in terrible chronic pain due to a variety of ailments, and typing is very, very painful. That is hardly an excuse for the gaffe, however my neglecting of your work does not mean that I didn't enjopy it immensely. I was simply a twit while in my medicated state, and my apologies for not commenting on “Secrets” are sincere. It was rude of me. Looking back upon it – surely it is unintentionally insulting to you.<BR/> <BR/>I look forward to reading more of your work, and have heard that your vampire novels are wonderful!<BR/> <BR/>Sincerely,<BR/> <BR/>T.

His gift of storytelling and his passion for horror is what makes his writing so much fun to read.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the great review!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
