“People sometimes sneer at those who run every day, claiming they’ll go to any length to live longer. But I don’t think that’s the reason most people run. Most runners run not because they want to live longer, but because they want to live life to the fullest. If you’re going to while away the years, it’s far better to live them with clear goals and fully alive than in a fog, and I believe running helps you do that. Exerting yourself to the fullest within your individual limits: that’s the essence of running, and a metaphor for life—and for me, for writing as well. I believe many runners would agree.”

I've just left a short Spanish-language review of your newest book at amazon.mx! Thank you for the opportunity to practice!
Have a great tomorrow.

Sometimes at work, I'll think of writing, adding a detail to a story I'm working on, and then go about my business.
The Italian-version of Black Suede Jacket is now available as an audiobook on iTunes. This time I self-published on Draft2digital, which opens all kinds of new doors for me. What have you been up to?
Hi, Julio! How have you been? I just wanted to tell you that I recommended your books TWO DRINKS and JACKET to someone. Oops--I forgot your newest one. But I was telling this person that I had left a review at Amazon in Spanish, and that reminded me of leaving foreign-language reviews of the foreign-language versions of your books. So if you're ever at amazon.com/mx or amazon.com/ca, check out my reviews of PREKE TOWN by Gary O. Thompson. Thank you. And I hope you're doing all right and I wish you all the best in your life and with whatever you're working on currently. Blessings and peace!Best wishes from Majenta
