Hal Issen asked Derek B. Miller:

Mr. Miller - how can you be so doggone funny? I am highlighting the great quips by Sheldon Horowitz in Norwegian Nights with delight. Derek Miller does not seem like a Jewish name to me, but you captured the mentality of my father's people. These are good times to laugh, and I suggest this is a theme in the book. Well done. Harold Issen

Derek B. Miller When the world throws crazy at us we have a choice …

I am Jewish too, so I think I come by it rather directly. I wonder if there's a gene. One that makes us unable NOT to notice the absurd (the double negative is required here). I think that's twitch, anyway.

Thanks for the note. The Girl in Green, my second novel, is quote different but if you thought Sheldon was funny you might enjoy spending some time with Arwood Hobbes. All the best.
