eBay & Royalties

eBay auctions ending in a couple of hours. I'm hoping the next round I post will have some hand-crafted items. Not sure yet.

Today's mail brought a Dell royalty check that will allow me to pay my house note this month. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Lost Souls, Drawing Blood, and Wormwood. I can't deny there are things about you that make me look back and cringe, but you've saved my ass any number of times. And an even bigger hat tip of gratitude to the readers who keep buying you.

Hey Billy, My daughter and I are two of the biggest Lost Souls/Drawing Blood fanboy geeks you'll likely ever see. Many copies of each have been shared, gifted, or just worn to pieces, we will always need new copies! Never cringe when you look back at those... We often discuss what a great film Lost Souls could be, done properly. Your earlier stuff (the "horror" bits) are way up there with the King Himself, so never doubt, great as you are, you entertained the shit out of folks then, as well. Those books (including Exquisite Corpse, and the sublime Plastic Jesus) will always be dear to my child's heart and mine.

I must have 3 copies of Lost Souls and 2 Drawing Blood. They get read to death before I replace them. My original Lost Souls is held together with a rubber band.

don't regret your past - embrace it
Billy - I have followed you for years - please don't regret or cringe about your old books - that was just where you were then. You're writing - all of it - has given me so much enjoyment. Yes, you've made me squirm - but that's a good thing sometimes. Embrace all of you. You are outstanding.
