(How pathetic it was that I didn't know you were Michael Swanwick until about halfway into the conversations. I had read only a few of your stories at that point.)<br /><br />I am now starting your collection The Dog Said Bow-Bow, and your 2002 novel Bones of the Earth, and enjoying both.<br /><br />With best regards,<br />JFJohn Farrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18280296574996987228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1484180326012950400.post-56716245509468684782010-02-17T16:21:02.833-08:002010-02-17T16:21:02.833-08:00My thanks, Ken.

To me or anyone else whose work you like. (If you forget titles, a simple, "I like your work" is always genially received.) Writers tend to be kindly disposed toward readers. What with us belonging to that same tribe ourselves and all.Michael Swanwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18389836784776252022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1484180326012950400.post-84874649959072930382010-02-15T07:39:21.856-08:002010-02-15T07:39:21.856-08:00All right, now I'm jealous of the people who m...All right, <em>now</em> I'm jealous of the people who made it to Boskone.<br /><br />(Melinda, btw, not Melissa Snodgrass.)Ken Houghtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01440837287933536370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1484180326012950400.post-16310162508835808842010-02-15T04:59:48.071-08:002010-02-15T04:59:48.071-08:00BOSKONE was great!

I was looking for an opportune time to introduce myself and tell you how much I love your writing but 1) I was shy and b) I can't for the life of me remember the title of the story you wrote that blew my mind. Next time I'll overcome shyness and amnesia and introduce myself.Chizzlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13127588641903405267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1484180326012950400.post-19611920180213633822010-02-15T04:48:24.631-08:002010-02-15T04:48:24.631-08:00If you are truly in Amherst proper, you are in my ...If you are truly in Amherst proper, you are in my habitat. My father and I both went to Amherst College. I also went to Amherst High School when my father was teaching at UMass. In many ways, that town, that area, is the soul of my writing. My first (very bad) fantasy novel was penned there in the halls of the high school, while skipping classes. Say hello to my town, which knows me as Isy. <br /><br />OzOzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11874080106356780982noreply@blogger.com
