Friends,

I am delighted to inform you that after years on the back burner with my focus on other literary projects, I am quite far along in a book inspired by Tigerdroppings. My editor and I have struggled to compress the corpus to 500 pages, as we are around 1200 now. Our hope is to have it ready by Advent.

One thing I am struggling with is who will write the preface. Mother? Uncle? Or perhaps one of you talented writers, if you would like?

Details are forthcoming.

Yours,
TulaneLSU

Check out A Song For Arbonne by Guy Gavriel Kay and let me know if you think his prose is better than your own, kind sir

Dear TulaneLSU,
quote:

L'audace, l'audace, toujours l'audace!


A Tigerdroppings Miscellany-released coinciding with Advent will, no doubt, confirm mankind’s great need for a Savior.

I’m in.

Carry on.

Cordially,

M.

Friend, do you plan to narrate the Audiobook version? Would love to hear these stories in your own voice but if not I would like to recommend my good friend George Guidall. Really sad that Roy Dotrice passed away as I feel he would have been perfect for this endeavor.

That's a good book, but I don't get the reference. What is the relevance of that book to the OP?

Look y’all, it’s obvious he’s asking me if I would write the forward to his epic novel. He just has to be diplomatic about it and make y’all think y’all had a chance.

Yes, T, it would be an honor to write the forward for your novel. Tell mother I said hello and I can’t wait to see her at lunch after church on Sunday.

So you’re saying there is a chance?

I’ll break out my Strunk & White and Roget’s Thesaurus.

Perhaps he will issue a pre-publication sample of his magnum opus with guidelines for its forward and pick from a list of invitees who respond.

You may challenge me on my prose, but you will find yourself eclipsed by my sapience and sagacity.
