Hey Fi,

From what I understand, unless Phoenix sells the U.K. rights, they'll be covering it themselves, and it'll be available via Amazon U.K. as it's listed now. Just finished the final revisions and the book is going to bound galleys in the next sixty days or so. Hope all is well on your end.

Jim, I meant to ask you when "This River" is published does the same date apply to outside of the USA and can you advise if your publishers will include Europe, maybe even at a later date. How is the book going?

Thanks,
Fi

Hey Valerie and Roberta,

Thank you both for the encouragment with This River. And, again for you both, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Hey Jim!
Wishing you and yours a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Looking forward to "This River" and also reading "The Los Angeles Diaries"...again!!...I think that will make it the eleventh time I've read it. Powerful book, beautifully written. Thanks for writing it.

Sincerely,
Valerie


Dear Jim:

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and to your loved ones this holiday season. And may 2010 be a banner year for
"This River" and the reissue of "The Los Angeles Diaries!"


Sincerely,


Roberta

Hey Fi,

No, I don't know the name of the street, but I'm pretty sure it isn't in L.A.

Best,
Jim

Jim, I have to ask (pending any updates you may have of course, which I intend to wait for), do you know the name of this street, just out of interest?
Thanks, Fiona

Thanks for reading The L.A. Diaries and your kind comments about it. Congratulations on hitting seven years clean and sober, and as you express sorrow for my losses, I express the same for your father's death as a result of alcoholism.
Good luck to you,
Jim

I just read The L.A.Diaries. It is beautiful and tragic and had a profound effect on me. I am a recovering addict and alcoholic, seven years clean, and my father drank himself to death. This book reminded me why I never want to go back to drinking. I am sorry for your tragic losses and wish you all the best. I am now off to buy all your other books. :0)
