As you know, you are all entered in my drawing for the very first copy of "Hard Ball", signed and certified by me. Those of you who just came on board are already aware of the fact that "Hard Ball" is available for purchase. Some of you have already ordered a copy. Hats off to you! I'm sure you'll be entertained. I emailed Mike Purfield (author of "Dirty Boots", "Owel and Osmosis" and "Stereo Sanctity") an ARC a few weeks ago. He's writing a review of the book for Hacker's Source. It sounds like a very positive review. Thanks Mike!

If (for whatever reason [and who's asking?]) you just can't wait, you can follow links on Authorsden or on Nicholas Alan Tillemans' Home Page to browse the book on iUniverse.

One more thing: "The Mechanics of Perversion" is being considered for inclusion in the May/June edition of "House of Pain". I supspect that you'll be able to find it there next month. Brigit has added "Hard Ball" to her Bookshop of Horror pages. Thank you, Brigit. I expect you'll enjoy TMOP!


Eternally yours,

Nick
