I was sitting here looking you up because I loved "We're in Trouble" and wanted to see how it's going with your novel.<br /><br />I met Joellen many times when she was at Miami U. Gail Bartlett was one of my closest friends in grad. school at OU and I lived nearby. I came over often to chat with Gail and Pat and Joellen--what conversations those were. You remember Gail...that dry wit would leave me speechless with laughter.<br /><br />I can see Joellen even now after reading your post. I remember her struggle...Gail gave me updates. Joellen was someone who stood out, and though I didn't know her well, I'll never forget her.<br /><br />Your post also makes me think of Gail, who I miss so much butthat's another story.<br /><br />Thanks for this, and thanks for your book.MChttp://toofondofbooks-sea.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28308558.post-19719771205889384802010-11-08T09:41:42.476-08:002010-11-08T09:41:42.476-08:00I'm coming across this two years later, so may...I'm coming across this two years later, so maybe you won't see this, Chris.

I am at a loss for words... I never knew yo...Wow... I am at a loss for words... I never knew you even had had a wife.(All I know is that Miss Coake says you only make, like, a 5% interest off your books.) <br /> I was was in Miss Coake's class last year(and her math class this year), and I looked you up on the web because I remembered that Miss Coake told us she had a brother who wrote books. I am currently (trying to) write a book, and I was wondering: how do you write a manuscript? Is there a specific way you should do it? How do you contanct a publisher? Are you just supposed to email your manuscript to a publisher and let them evaluate it? I really have no idea what to do (I 've barely even started my book). (Sorry if I'm bothering you with my questions, and if you don't want to answer and you're too busy mourning your wife or washing your car or checking your email or writing your book...) <br /> My email is silkfern@gmail.com<br /><br />Emily ChanEmilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16570185586358762193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28308558.post-66211866894149232222010-01-05T15:16:21.331-08:002010-01-05T15:16:21.331-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.EARJ Class of ´90 - 20 Year Reunionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18272800845725951486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28308558.post-85388169830059805202010-01-05T15:15:54.148-08:002010-01-05T15:15:54.148-08:00dear mr. coake.
