Love Marc Maron, love Mr. Almond, and that interview (WTF) was what got me off the social-media gluebag and back into reading and writing modern fiction again, including all of SA’s anthologies. Two questions – I subscribed to Letters in the Mail in Mr. Almonds month, and so far, nothing heard- should I hope for the future? And secondly, I’d like to gift a month of Letters – it would be great if you could tell me a way to make that happen. Best. I’m out before I use any more adverbs.

I just found Steve’s letter the other day sitting under a pile of newspapers, unopened junk mail and bank statements. After a particularly heinous week at work it was such a treat…he had me at comrades!
