I can't get the link to show up in the previous entry, but here it is, I sincerely hope:

Sorry for the ineptitude.

Pardon the random post

I just stumbled on to your journal, only to realize that you're THAT Pamela Dean. "Tam Lin" is classified in my reading-world as pure comfort reading: I have read it so many times that I can quote passages without looking at them. When life gets me down, picking up your book has been like popping in a favorite old movie, grabbing a favorite blanket, and escaping reality for awhile. I was heartbroken when my copy drowned this spring in the great Brooklyn Center flood of '03. Finding your home on the web is a good reminder that I need to hunt down a new copy for the next time grad school kicks my butt.

I just wanted to thank you for writing something that has made my day so many times over. I hope that's not a too-creepy thing to do via LJ.

Regards,
CJ

Not creepy a bit, and thank you very much.

I think the book is out of print, though this is sometimes a murky affair and is still being investigated. I allegedly have a box of paperbacks, one of which I owe another LJer already, but I can't find it. I think there were enough paperbacks printed that you should be able to find one used. I hope.

I got my first copy at Uncle Hugo's, used, and they had quite a few -- though this was about ten years ago now, so this post, which started out as a PSA for anyone else who's looking, now seems completely irrelevent. And I feel very old. I have seen it when looking for other books in the Fairy Tale Series, so I'm still hopeful.

Done spamming your LJ for real this time,

I was going to do this via e-mail, but I couldn't find such a link and didn't want to verge on creepy stalkerdom, so I'll comment here and hope no one's offended.

I wanted to say thanks for your Anne Rice post. I'm not a Rice fan, nor do I think her method will work for every writer in every situation, but...there's a lot of venom swirling around the 'net over her message, and it just made me happy to see a post treating it in a charitable way.

So. Thanks.

(While I'm here, a fangirl moment. I rather loved Tam Lin and Juniper, etc. So thanks for the books as well. And looking at Amazon, I see I've missed several -- mea culpa!)
