Glad to hear you liked "Western Bridges". I have some random thoughts on the story and its inspiration on The Scowl.
Reading from "his novel"? Huh?
If you are talking about Brocabulary, it's not actually a novel. It is more like a dictionary for the Jerry Springer fan. There is a difference between satire and stupidity and Mr. Maurer hasn't figured that out yet.
Pleased to see you enjoyed Undo. Big thanks for including me in the list. www.worded.co.uk
