Here I am just trying to find out if you *really* won the World Fantasy Award, and if so for what (why the psuedonym?), and I end up making a random connection between your film deal and that of Khalid Husseini. The young star of the adaptation of his Kite Runner is now in hiding because of death threats. It seems to me that if he had written about werewolves instead of Afghans, he would surely feel less driven to travel secretly back to Afghanistan and rescue the werewolf.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35151686.post-37977811675424101432008-06-05T11:03:00.000+01:002008-06-05T11:03:00.000+01:00Well, have managed to fail completely to answer an...Well, have managed to fail completely to answer any of these comments this time.

I read the book in two days when on holiday in Rome last year with increasing difficulty as the glue binding the pages melted and several fell out. It wasn't even my copy so on top of the difficulty finding the pages it was made more difficult by the guilt felt at ruining a book which had been signed with a dedication to another huge fan. The book has deteriorated further through several re-readings of the book (which the owner was kind enough to let me keep). Waterstone had a single copy of the book in their store for a while and I was temped to replace the tattered copy with one that didn't have missing pages, but I know the story and I like my books worn, plus I figured somebody else should be given the oppertunity to buy it and hopefully be delighted by it. I almost wish that I was able to act and looked anything remotely like the beautiful Kalix. The only thing going for me to play the part is that I am Scottish and the same age. Which are undoubtedly not enough...<BR/>Wow, I must be tired that was some rant. <BR/>Anyway, let me just add that your books are an inspiration.<BR/>Take care, <BR/>Rosie.ro[bot]https://www.blogger.com/profile/08407530708395832525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35151686.post-44069132004077238912008-05-24T07:40:00.000+01:002008-05-24T07:40:00.000+01:00Way cool on the Lonely Werewolf Girl option!

Trust me if I had a customer wanting to talk about Buffy I would've loved it! Maybe he was having a bad day.<BR/>Good luck with keeping warm! <BR/>AnitaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35151686.post-30033478222433675882008-05-22T18:34:00.000+01:002008-05-22T18:34:00.000+01:00I have often wondered what kind of job a filmmaker...I have often wondered what kind of job a filmmaker would make out of Lux, or The Good Fairies, or any other of your marvellous books. It is strange that they get signed, but never released. Do you think your novels would be so difficult to make into films? <BR/><BR/>I love your books, but sadly, I only have managed to own one of them--Dreams of Sex and Stagediving, which I bought out of a Hurt Book Bin at a Chapters when I was 18 (nine years ago now--how swiftly 18 passes to become almost 30). I read the others when I borrowed them from a friend who introduced me to your work, and I loved them. I live in Canada, and oddly, your books have always been nigh well impossible to get here. I wonder why that is? Strange. I am thinking about just ordering a swack of them from Amazon UK. <BR/><BR/>I am a writer too. A bit of an agoraphobe and hermit as well. I don't live in the city anymore--I moved away from it to pursue my solitude in a more in depth fashion, ha. I wanted to perfect the art of societal alienation. <BR/><BR/>Anyways. I don't know why I am blabbering on at you like this, except to say I love your books, and I am glad I looked you up again--I didn't know you had a blog, so that is cool. <BR/><BR/>Take care, Martin--I look forward to reading your blog and waiting for North American editions of your books to come my way. <BR/><BR/>Don't let the cold eat you alive. <BR/><BR/>McKinley.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
