A Word From F

I apologize for the delay; I have been hard at work on my application for tenure. I cannot reveal the name of the university (hint: it rhymes with "Fartmouth"), but I can say that my application was denied. Perhaps next autumn the old maxim "eleventh time's the charm" will hold true.

With little else -- save my sordid love life -- to distract me, I'm ready to break those copyright laws I promised I would break.

In their own way, Alford and Kaercher extended an olive branch by commissioning me to write a Foreword and Afterword for the second print of Dolph and Erasmus. (Still gonna sue 'em.) I'll post that momentarily, followed by periodic postings of the body of the book, which is written in email format. The emails are the actual correspondence of the two protagonists, word-for-word; the only change A&K made was to insert themselves as Dolph and Erasmus's pre-Dolph and pre-Erasmus selves.

Don't forget to buy a copy (or twelve!) from your local online retailer (Barnes and Noble, Amazon, Borders, etc). Just enter "Dolph and Erasmus" into the search field and you'll find it. Remember: the more money they make, the more I can sue them for.

Happy Holidays!
