Stuff.
It's all around us.
Just look around.
It's there.
I like to think myself a connoisseur on all things neat and
interesting. Weird and curious is welcome too.
So if you have something you think might belong
in the bin, drop me a note.
I am looking for cat pictures. Your cat. Do you have a cat?
Dogs will do too. Or any animal you take care of.
How about we make a
PET
section.

Diana Wynne Jones
Author
If you have a child, I would HIGHLY recommend Diana Wynne Jones' books as nighttime/anytime reading for all ages. They are beautifully written, often magical tales. She can create whole worlds that become so real that you never want to leave. And yet she also fulfills our primal instincts - but not in a predictable manner.
She has several books in under her name, so her home page would be a good source to get acquainted with what she does. And an excellent resource for the existing fan.
One day, a few years ago, I came across her official fan site where I noticed she replied to emails you can submit in. I was ecstatic! I wrote right away, and I chuckle now when I read my letter, but I am also honoured she wrote back.
From Julie
First of all, I must say how excited I
am at finding this website! What a fantastic resource for fans!
I am so glad to hear you are still writing, Mrs.Jones. The first
of your books I read was Black Maria and instantly I fell in
love. Fire and Hemlock is my favorite so far. It is one of the
best books I've ever read and I tell all my friend about it. For
weeks after I kept seeing Mr.Lynn ... in my dreams and even once
on the streetcar! Well, my question is: I've noticed that all
your works have been republished recently (I haven't seen any
older copies). Are you happy with the cover art? I think they
are lovely and Mr.Wyatt should be proud! Also, is your next
story going to be for older readers (like Fire and Hemlock)?

Diana's Reply
Odd you should see Mr Lynn on a streetcar.
It's that kind of book. While I was writing it, things out of it
kept happening and people out of it kept appearing. I actually went
to a lecture where the speaker was the image of Mr Leroy, black
poached eyes and all. And I was followed everywhere by a van
labelled Kings Lynn - which, since I live about as far away from
Kings Lynn as is possible in this country, was pretty strange. Oh, I
am very happy with the cover art of all my books now. |

I am referring to David Wyatt's cover art for her books.
I wrote him as well but lost his response. He was very kind though.
