Thank you Adam. I marvel at the strange miracle that fate not only granted me a life of ridiculously good fortune, a kind of bottomless chest of blessings, it also gave me you. On top of everything else, I have Adam as my brother. It's like I won the lottery twice. It's a mystery. It doesn't make sense. Is God running an experiment? It feels that way. As anyone who reads you can see, it's not just the world class writing; the man behind the pen is a gift in his own right. I love you. Thank you for the art, and for everything else too.

So. I feel like we've been piecing together a puzzle without benefit of the box cover, some treasured thing that ended up in a hand-carved chest, and has slowly emerged - a flower vendor, a fountain, a group of women whispering - until we have now a fuller picture, if still looking forward to filling in the corners.

"I would put my head down and write with abandon, beyond grammar, beyond punctuation, beyond rules, beyond spelling, beyond re-reading, beyond appraisal, simply moving from thought to thought, gathering ideas up like wildflowers, stepping from stone to stone as they steadily appeared beneath my racing feet."

What a gift that year was - delighted to be one of your readers, Adam.
