There’s a new, exciting, micro-trend: humans in love with inanimate objects. In one book, the female protagonist finds a jelly-like blob in an alley and brings him home where he transforms into "Bob."

I like you turning Blob into Bob. Also, you humorous treatment of Steven Hawking’s book!

I am also in love with inanimate objects. Three statues of Kokopelli, one is made from a fork; two wonderful bears which are puzzles, if only one piece comes out, there is no obvious way to get

it back in; a wooden horse Chuck bought before I did from a store in New Orleans; an old metal ferris wheel; a red lampshade; several small bright orange vases; a beautiful old metal nutcracker in the shape of a horse with its head thrown back; a piece of art my son made of a piece of curly orange insulation that he put on a stand he made; two dracos in frames lying on cotton; a tall walking stick with a dog's head at the top. And 100s more. There are so many your eyes can't distinguish one thing from another but I can't help it. i want everything where I can see it. No blobs named Bob, but I will keep my eyes open. Loved your piece. Love you, too.

I love these lists..... mine are on a million different pieces of paper......all over the place.

Maybe I should be more organized. Have a nice day. Hope the Easter Bunny was good to you whether you believe the bunny exists or not. There must be a basket out there somewhere. Maybe that's where hope is hiding.

After I was told by the Lori Perkins agency that my book was too dark for the market; I self-published. I should have hung tough and tried another agency. Keep at it and don't self-publish. You will find an agent.
