Fan Mail!

I've never had fan mail before, but some arrived out of the blue from a reader today. Which is kind of surreal. I can't resist reproducing some of it :

"I read right through your archive of stories and loved every one. Inventive and playful, but with real depth - just brilliant. I'm thoroughly jealous of the way you make the fantastic elements seem so natural within their context. My personal favourite was probably 'Midnight in the Room of Clocks'. "

Wow! I guess he's been reading through the archive of fiction and poetry on my web site. Cheered me right up!
