MARTHA'S VINEYARD RETREAT. You and a friend can be my guest for a weekend next spring or summer at my house on Martha's Vineyard. Join me and my wife for three days and two nights at our tiny but friendly house in Vineyard Haven. You'll stay in our guest room; we'll provide breakfast, give you a guided tour of the island, lend you one of our cars for up to five hours, let you borrow our bikes, and you'll be the guest of honor at a dinner party for which Dear Wife Betty will prepare a meal of at least 5 courses. Includes one PATRON PACK.

I'm the author of the novels Acts of the Apostles, Cheap Complex Devices, and The Pains, all of which can be downloaded for free from wetmachine.com. I've also written a bunch of award-winning essays for Salon.
I've done famine relief & agricultural development work in west Africa (5 years), have spent 22 of the last 30 years in high tech (Silicon Valley & Boston areas), the other 8 years as truck driver, construction laborer, and novelist. I volunteer at a food pantry that my wife founded & runs, and I'm a volunteer firefighter.
it works - I've seen you - but not the dog.
This comes across much as I always suspected -- completely crackers. But then anyone who writes a novel is crackers, by definition, and I should know because I've written about twenty. More if you count the ones that never made it into print. Welcome to the club, John. Get the book writ before we both die.
Aw gee, Michael, I was trying to act in "sane" mode. You mean it didn't work?
Christian: well, if I could get my dog (still very much a puppy) to sit still, I would show her to you. But she won't sit still, which is why I have to walk her & let her run -- so she'll be tired and I can get some work done!
