There's me calling you a genius without ever thinking you'd drop by, and viola here you are. I'm *blushing* now :o). Seriously though I'm loving your work. I'm only nibbling away at <i>Goat</i> (quite appropriate with the 'authentic' bite marks on the Burning House copy), so no full review as yet, but I've read enough to know that your inventiveness is bordering on legendary. Really excited to hear there's another collection in the pipeline. This year would have been nice, but you know what they say about the best things and waiting. As for the French version of <i>Goat</i> Good luck with that. I'm sure our French cousins will love the collection, so it's got to happen. As for reviewing in French? I wish. Aside from being able to read <i>Goat</i> in French I'd also be able to read Proust and De Maupassant in the vernacular - what a dream that would be. Anyway I've taken up enough of your valuable time Mr. Burrett. Thank you so much for dropping by and saying Hi, and for passing on such kind although undeserved words. Continued success and if you do get news from Beautiful Books on the follow-up, and you're passing by....... :o) Warmest Regards Rob Wow,

Much appreciated. I've written my follow-up collection and am just waiting for a response from the publisher of Goat. I was hoping it could be out later this year - but things are looking tight now. I've heard on the grapevine that a small French publisher is seeking the rights for Goat. Do you review in French as well? All the best with your continuing gargantuan contribution to the world of writing. Alex Burrett Hey Rob,
