Today's thank you goes out to, yet another terrific reader of mine, Jerry Dazzlepants. Jerry picked up my book through the website goodreads.com. A few weeks after she read it, I was e-stalking my book to find any hits about it online and found that Jerry had written a very kind 5 star review for it and posted it on goodreads. As a writer, we always appreciate every 5 star review that we ever get, so I shot her a message to thank her and she graciously wrote back that it was no problem. I stayed in contact with her through Facebook, and then, when my wife and I were considering what it might be like to live in the Gold Coast in Australia, I contacted Jerry once again and asked her what life as an Aussie was like. Out of the goodness of her heart, she wrote me a great big, very detailed letter about everything (which all sounded terrific, except for the frog part) and really helped us visualize what we'd be getting into if we ever moved to the other side of the world. Jerry is a long way away, but thanks to Amazon, Facebook, goodreads, and Post-Human, I now consider her a great friend. Jerry, thanks so much for reading my book, being so kind about it, being so awesome, and for having such colorful profile pics! You rock!
